First day of chemo was today. I was a little nervous, but over all went well. Trying to get insurance to approve immunotherapy.

2nd Chemo on the 25th. Will be starting immunotherapy as well. How is it with immunotherapy?

The only problem mainly is it messed with my thyroid so I'm on thyroid medication it's better than I thought it would be🙂

I haven’t suffered as much with immunotherapy compared to chemo. However, fatigue is an ongoing dude effect as these drugs are pumped into our bodies. I want to live longer and in better health don, I won’t complain …I’m still here and will roll with the punches until I can’t . Stay strong in the Spirit!

That a girl good attitude 😊❤️🙏

Brenda W, I am in the same boat. My insurance does not cover immunotherapy meds. Im also a nurse. Our Healthcare system is broken. Now I'm wondering why I didn't get immunotherapy while I was getting chemo? Is that a common treatment plan?

Jacqueline O, my insurance first denied my immunotherapy but then changed and started covering it. I've since had to pause my chemo and immunotherapy because I was having so much pain in my left leg. Started 5 radiation treatments on my back, I have one more radiation treatment to do. And it has helped the pain. Will resume chemo next month 3 more to go. I also have sciatica and neuropathy mostly on the left lower extremity. You are in my prayers.
