17 years with metastatic prostate cancer – hope disappearing down the Lu
So, it looks like I’m going to have to try to get myself on an
immunotherapy
trial. I’m germ line BRAC2 and my tumours exhibit micro-statellite- instability, so there is at least some chance
immunotherapy
will work.

An immunotherapy drug called
Opdivo- Was recommended in a second opinion appointment today. Does anyone have experience with this drug for very advanced prostate cancer when other drugs have failed? Thanking in advance for any experience with this drug.

Immunotherapy-Chemotherapy *Update #2*
I mean, why am I randomly hearing about
Immunotherapy
two times. I asked my oncologist about
Immunotherapy
and she said some along the lines of “you’re not there yet.” Huh?

Been wanting to write this for awhile
In March or April 2019 I started:
Immunotherapy
- Keytruda Chemo - Pemetrexed -Alimta Chemo - Carboplatin - Paraplatin The brain tumors were shrinking and my lymph nodes but due to my being so neauseated and dizzy they wanted to keep me on
Immunotherapy
only so my quality of life would get better,

Prostate cancer ‘super responders’ live for two years on immunotherapy
“A limitation with
immunotherapy
is that there’s no good test to pick out those who are most likely to respond.

Interesting article- potential for immunotherapy for Bone Metastases
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/12/191202140610.htm I thought this was very interesting - hopefully there are some actual clinical trials to follow quickly.

Otherwise, to start a trial in London, with chemo and a
immunotherapy
pill.

CT Scan Results, New Medication :-(
I am not a candidate for
immunotherapy
. My tumor is very estrogen sensitive. Due to my cancer profile, treatment with: Ado-trastuzumab emtansine, lapatinib, neratnib, pertuzumab, trastuzumab would not be beneficial for me.

Immunotherapy 2 year limit
But more shocking than this we discovered that even if her cancer was to progress once her treatment stopped, she would not be eligible for any further
immunotherapy
on the nhs, even though it has worked for her in the past. I find nhs policy on this matter absolutely crazy.

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.

Dad has HCC with PVTT, severe hypoglycemia
We started an
immunotherapy
trial, but unfortunately he had to get off due to being hospitalized from severe hypgolycemia. Anyone else have any experience with severe hypoglycemia? He is currently on nexavar and is about to switched to opdivo.

CAR-T Cell Therapy
While only one type of
immunotherapy
, Sipuleucel-T, has yielded only modest improvements in survival most other types such as viruses, PD-1 and PD-L1 inhibitors, etc. have not been very effective, because of PCa's comparatively low mutational loads, I still have hope that

will one day be

They reviewed his medical records in less then a day and said he would be a great candidate for Lu-177 and also suggested a bio
immunotherapy
package for an additional $16000. My husbands case is super complex and I feel like this is some type of scam.

The ways astronauts prep for spaceflight could benefit cancer patients, say researchers.
During spaceflight, astronauts experience similar physical stress as cancer patients undergoing treatments such as chemotherapy,
immunotherapy
, and targeted therapy.
