Treatment Failures
I have had targeted therapy,
immunotherapy
and chemotherapy. I am still alive after 2 years but the expectation at the start was 10 years. My cancer has changed from the start when it was EGFR positive, ALK negative but I'm not sure quite how.

Treatments and Surviving Cancer
I did
immunotherapy
for 1 year. Today I don't take life for granted, but I enjoy my life and spend a lot of time with my grandbabies that God blessed me with to the fullest. I have started traveling more to see sights that I want to see.

Anyone have any info or experience with Dr. Gary Onik and his Immunotherapy?
Does anyone know how his
immunotherapy
compares to Provenge and Car-T? His treatment is all private pay and is upward of $60k. We do whatever we need to to get that if we knew there was a good chance of helping. What are the potential downsides of immunotherapies?

Close friends like Wendy know that Jimmy had to stop his
immunotherapy
treatment at the end of February. Catch 22. It seemed to be working on cancer BUT it was destroying what little liver he had left. So after discussing with his GI that he loves and trusts, he opted to stop treatment.

Help and advice please.
Over the past 2 years I have had Afatinib,
immunotherapy
, chemotherapy and a trial drug which had a code type name. Happy to pass on names of drugs if anyone wants them.

HCC Any New Up to Date Recommendations?
And
Immunotherapy
. After a consult with all my DR's it is now recommended that I have a consult with the Transplant team at a nearby hospital. So much is happening so fast. It is hard for me to take it all in.

Immunotherapy not working.
Found out on Sunday from CT scan
immunotherapy
not working. Saw Consultant on Wednesday. Chemo next, I'm wondering if it's worth it, can't think positive. I thought
immunotherapy
would be effective, is chemo? Really need some encouragement. Thank you.

Unfavorable update
Jeff just barely qualified for
immunotherapy
as well. To qualify you need a 10 and Jeff was 11. Dr. Kwon ordered another guardiant 360 test to see if there were any more mutations and to see if his numbers had increased for the
immunotherapy
.

MO Recommendations NY area
We are interested in someone open to things like cryotherapy (newly metastatic, low level)
immunotherapy
etc. Does anyone have recommendations of how to locate some doctors more open to all the options?

Tumor Associated Macrophages (TAM)
I'm continuing to study more about Tumor Associated Macrophages. I've mentioned in the past that my intuition tells me that suppressing them they may be the key to making immunotherapies work. Here's another overview article on their effect and trials into therapies: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc

Not the best news I've had
Well, further to the Chemotherapy and
Immunotherapy
combo not working any longer after 20 months, had a meeting with the oncologist today and the tests on my cells have shown no targetable mutations. Upshot is that the alternative now is chemotherapy with Docetaxel and Nintedamib.
