New cancer treatment

[Imasurvivor7]

I'm just letting people know that after 2 sessions of chemotherapy my tumor bled into my lungs. The consultant advice me to use the new drug atezolizumab. After being told that I have 6 months to live I have been able to live a normal life for 2 years and 5 months. It is harmless and very minor side effects if any. I hope more people could receive this wonderful creation

So very glad to read this. The atezolizumab (Tecentriq) and other immunotherapy drugs have been huge game changers for many. It's a matter of getting the right drug and your oncologist/consultant chose well.

May you continue to enjoy many more years, months and happy milestones.

I am very encouraged by your experience. If you can share- what are your bio markers? I was recently diagnosed with NSCLC and my biomarkers are listed as uncommon and no targeted treatments....yet but there are current clinical trials going on 🤞🏻🙏🏻

Thank you for your kind words. I haven't heard of biomarkers where would I find this ?

See this link for information on the bio makers: go2foundation.org/treatment... I’m going to have to ask my doctor about this drug.

I am just past 6 years and I did Tecentriq (Atezolizumab) for a year before I quit due to Covid. I have been stable for one year except for a few tiny brain tumors. Congratulations and best wishes!
