Approved for Immunotherapy

Hi all

I met with the oncologist on Thursday who informed me the Health Board has approved for me to be treated with immunotherapy. I start treatment on Weds and will continue every 6 weeks with a scan after week 12. Fingers crossed it will work.

Just finished fifty treatments of immunotherapy. Luckily no side effects apart from some tiredness. Only licenced for two years use! Hope it works well for you too.
