Had full course of immunotherapy last September but unfortunately was unsuccessful and planned to start chemotherapy.
In February I became unwell with bowel problems including continuous diarrhoea. My chemo was put on hold.
As I became more and more unwell I was admitted to Christie's for investigations. I was completely dehydrated and had weight loss through not eating. Various test were done including scans, biopsies, blood test etc
The diagnosis made was that the immunotherapy 6 months earlier had caused ulcerative colitis. The Consultant said to me that immunotherapy can be very successful but also comes with terrible side effects
I'm now on the mend with the help of 20 prescription drugs a day.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this.
