I just wonder if there’s anyone diagnosed with non small cell lung cancer, has tried the immunotherapy. Does it really help? Is it worth to try it? Thank you.I just wonder if there’s anyone diagnosed with non small cell lung cancer, has tried the immunotherapy. Does it really help? Is it worth to try it? Thank you.

Hi there, Early this year, I volunteered for a clinical trial to test side effects of an immunotherapy drug. For me, things didn’t go to well as a healthy volunteer. Has anyone else had an experience like this?Hi there, Early this year, I volunteered for a clinical trial to test side effects of an immunotherapy drug.

Please show your support for this cause, so we can try to get this one size fits all policy reviewed, i am not only appealing to patients on immunotherapy but anyone affected by lung cancer and who someday may need immunotherapy as part of their treatment.Please show your support for this cause, so we can try to get this one size fits all policy reviewed, i am not only appealing to patients on immunotherapy but anyone affected by lung cancer and who someday may need immunotherapy as part of their treatment.

KEYTRUDA immunotherapy

After two doses of KEYTRUDA immunotherapy; one infusion every 3 weeks. My PSA went from 86 to 1 over 6 weeks and I feel much better. Happy to be no longer hammering my immune system with chemo and instead working with it.After two doses of KEYTRUDA immunotherapy; one infusion every 3 weeks.

Any one experienced with Envita Medical Center

I've been reading the info on the Envita Medical Center in Arizona and they seem to be focused on immunotherapy and other individually determined treatments. Any one have any experience with them? Thanks.I've been reading the info on the Envita Medical Center in Arizona and they seem to be focused on immunotherapy and other individually determined treatments.

Keytruda Immunotherapy Update

After running through pretty much most of the available SOC, I got a Hail Mary with a genetic test indicating I was MSI-H (micro satellite instability high) and thus approved for Pembrolizumab. After 4 cycles (12 weeks) of Pembro (Keytruda) my PSA went from 86 to undetectable: < 0.01.

An inhalable nanoparticulate STING agonist synergizes with radiotherapy to confer long-term control of lung metastases

However, only a fraction of patients benefit from immunotherapy, and lack of specific tumor targeting is frequently associated with immune-related toxicity.However, only a fraction of patients benefit from immunotherapy, and lack of specific tumor targeting is frequently associated with immune-related toxicity.

Immunotherapy

I have possibly had some progression so my oncologist is considering trying me on Immunotherapy, which has recently been approved, depending on the results of my CT, which I will be doing on Tuesday. Has anyone done Immunotherapy, specifically for breast cancer, or know anyone who has?I have possibly had some progression so my oncologist is considering trying me on Immunotherapy, which has recently been approved, depending on the results of my CT, which I will be doing on Tuesday.
