Hello Natalie and welcome to our site. You'll find lots of helpful friends here who can offer great advice

We've exchanged private messages so you will know I am doing very well on this trial.

I forgot to ask how many doses your mother has had.

All the best!

Hi Helen, glad to here the trial is going well for you, mums had 5 doses so far, 3 with the combined and 2 with just the avelumab on its on, are your days long and drawn out too? Though it's worth it to be getting such a new drug, she had a scan after 5 weeks it showed some small reductions and some other still stable and a little bigger, but I here with immunotherapy it can take longer to show on scans? Take care, Natalie xx

Hi Natalie, welcome to the site none of us want to belong to but are very glad we do. I don't have any experience of avelumab so can't help or advise but just wanted to say hello. ❤️Xx Jane

Hi jane, thank you for your message, it's so refreshing to read other people's stories and how everyone is getting on, am glad I stumbled across this sight now :) Natalie xx

Hi Natalie, just popping in to say Hello and welcome. I have not met any one so far on this trial here in Ireland but hopefully we will hear about it as time goes on, I hope your Mum is doing okay.

Hi there, what trial are you on in Ireland? Reading your history sounds very similar to mum, it's really reassuring reading other people's posts and history's, I guess the thing with trials is that it's a bit into the unknown, but so far so good, hope it's going well for you, Natalie xx
