Has anyone here had experience with immunotherapy. I'm concerned with possible side effects. I've been through surgeries (lobectomy and brain), chemo and radiation so I'm not without treatment experience. The above drug is relatively new so I'm a bit apprehensive. Thank you.

Hi Durvalunab,

Smithy1874 post is very encouraging.You should discuss your concerns with the lung cancer nurse specialists at your next clinic visit.If you experience side effects these can usually be controlled.

All the very best,
