Intro and Immunotherapy question
My onc recommends
immunotherapy
before Zynga/Xtandi. Any comments from those who have had Provenge would be appreciated. A trial is available which adds Yervoy (Ipilimumab) after the Provenge. If anyone has experience with this I would love to hear about it.

Time for my story.
I have this week had my first session of
immunotherapy
, and was not at all good on the second day, but things have now settled down. This is my second bout of cancer, 26 yrs ago I had breast cancer and with all the chemo and radiotherapy survived this long.

Soy & PCa
New study of isoflavones & PCa risk below [1]. Isoflavones form a subfamily of polyphenols with estrogenic properties. The most well-known phytoestrogen is genistein. Soybean products are a significant source of genistein in the diet. Getting up to speed after a PCa diagnosis, we are likely to read

Dad w/Stage 4 Lung Cancer
He has Non Small Cell and was a candidate for KEYTRUDA, an
immunotherapy
. He had his first treatment on October 2 and we wound up in the ER within 2 hours with what they were saying was the flu. I’m not buying that because he was fine before the treatment.

Sperm banking prior to immunotherapy
We saw an oncologist yesterday who said that
immunotherapy
will follow surgery . He suggested that my son bank sperm prior to receiving the
immunotherapy
. Does anyone have information about this? The whole experience is more than overwhelming . I welcome any words of wisdom.

My wife's current condition
Following radiotherapy and aggressive chemotherapy to treat Stage 4 Lung Cancer (non-small cell lung cancer metastesised to bones), my wife had extremely successful
immunotherapy
on a clinical trial leaving her with only 3 tiny lung tumours, which continue to shrink.

I was wondering.....
I also receive Avastin and
immunotherapy
/placebo. This was more difficult side effects than before. I was more nauseated and the body aches were worse and lasted longer as well. I am a very positive person and the treatment is working so please do not take it at a complaint.

We have an appointment for a second opinion next week but it's an NHS referral and the Consultant has already informed our Gp that she is unlikely to disagree with the original oncologist. ( not sure how this equates to a 2nd opinion) My husband tested negative for mutations/PD-L1 so can't have

Sleepless on steroids and an update!
I was also interested in
immunotherapy
, particularly Avelumab as I know there have been some hopeful results using this drug for OC in trials but it’s not licensed for it yet. Disappointed to learn trial no longer recruiting in London but anyone know about others coming up?

Study presented at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress may mean a new way to treat patients with stage 3 lung cancer
The study showed that patients with stage 3 lung cancer who took an
immunotherapy
drug (durvalumab, brand name Imfinzi) after chemotherapy and radiation had a longer period of progression-free survival (16.8 months) than patients who were not treated with
immunotherapy
(5.6 months).

Update on RW
After his 2nd
immunotherapy
it wasn't even a week and he was back in the hospital. This stuff just isn't working only making things worse , he is worse. After 1 week in the hospital they moved him to palliative care for another week because there is nothing left to try.

Checkpoint inhibitor therapy.
From yesterday's presentation: "The analysis of more than 9,000 prostate tumors ... found evidence that PD-L2, not PD-L1, may provide a key route for targeted therapies, such as
immunotherapy
, to slow disease progression."

Inflammation.
I asked James Allison, who pioneered cancer
immunotherapy
, to define “inflammation,” and he paused, considering the definition. “It’s a response to injury, mediated by immunological cells. But there are dozens of cell types communicating through even further dozens of signals.”
