hi, i was diagnosed with HCC recently and told that immunotherapy was the only treatment available to me. I previously have cirrhosis. How effective is the immunotherapy treatment ?

hi singing diva,

I was given identical diagnosis, and recommended immunotherapy as well. Fortunately I have responded very well to the treatment for the last couple of years, and the oncologist is very pleased with the latest CT scans . Although it’s worked very well for me, other than a few minor side effects ( sore mouth), it’s well tolerated , and quality of life generally very normal.

Hope if you do go for it , you will respond as well as I have.

Good luck, and don’t hesitate if you have any specific questions.

Take care,

Al
