Coronavirus...advice for a family member
Also, does
immunotherapy
weaken the immune system like chemo? The advice from government kept mentioning chemo and radiotherapy, but not
immunotherapy
. Obviously she’s high risk regardless, but I was just curious. Thanks for your thoughts. Xx

Coronavirus - vulnerable group confirmation.
The Doctor was clear, according to the government "vulnerable" guidelines: MPNs are a blood cancer and Pegasys is
immunotherapy
. It's been a huge relief to get full clarity - as there are so many mixed messages out there for us.

This CAN'T be true! Can it? :(
The cancer is currently kept in check by the
immunotherapy
I'm undergoing (and which will continue, lockdown or no lockdown, although all my scans - MRI, CT and echocardiogram - and non-urgent appointments have been cancelled).

Medical update ibrutinib
The Dr told me the treatment if required is
immunotherapy
and is not nice so he has given me two weeks and an alternative antibiotic to temper bacterial infection also to again stop ibrutinib. I'm back after 2 weeks to repeat the tests and take it from there.

New kind of CRISPR technology to target RNA, including RNA viruses like coronavirus.
CRISPR-based genetic screens have helped scientists identify genes that are key players in sickle-cell anemia, cancer
immunotherapy
, lung cancer metastasis, and many other diseases. However, these genetic screens are limited in scope: They can only edit or target DNA.

End of the road 2
I received the news on Thurs that the 6 months of
immunotherapy
I've had hasn't worked - tumors in my lungs have grown and there are 3 spots on my liver. I start chemo on Thurs (1 tablet per week apparently). This will hopefully give me 6 months.

Has anyone tried "Transfer Factor"
Sounds like it's a type of
immunotherapy
that can work for some people: https://www.webmd.com/vitamins/ai/ingredientmono-1011/transfer-factor A preliminary report on the use of transfer factor for treating stage D3 hormone-unresponsive metastatic prostate cancer. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/

Coronavirus
We do know that covid 19 is primarily affecting the respiratory system, so those that have had lung surgey or lung treatment including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapies and
immunotherapy
and those with lung cancer should think about including themselves in the vulnerable category.

Scared of going to hospital for scan
Is it important to have CT scans during chemo/
immunotherapy
? OH wants to cancel in case catches Covid. Is this wise?

ippi and Nivolumab
The
immunotherapy
combo was to start today but the insurance company denied approval. Any tips or advice of how to get a access to this combo? Trials are out due to a secondary cancer my hubs has.
