6 months agoI have finished my 7th infusion so now I have only 5 more to go!! So happy I'm on the down slope of this..I've had different side effects with all the injections each month. Some I've figured out how to deal w holistically some I just have to sit and ride out the exhaustion. I had my PET scan done because it was my half way point and it detected no new cancers and all my organs looked great. I have been very fortunate to my doctors keeping an eye out and being so skilled to remove all the cancer. My family was so relieved to hear the awesome news they can all breathe a little easier now. My doctor was Dr. Davidson up here at Northside hospital in Atlanta. I am also being looked at by Dr. Song head and neck specialist and Dr. Gill in Cumming GA who has been walking me through all these infusions.

Has anyone benefited from a fecal transplant for immunotherapy side effects?
Community Member
7 months agoHad a fecal transplant (clinical trial) related to side effects of Immunotherapy for (Stage 4) Malignant Melanoma which caused Micro Colitis? Immunotherapy has been stopped until Colitis is under control Which we hope transplant will help. Only had 1 and 1/2 treatments of Immunotherpay (had to stop mid way of second Infusion due to side effects from the Infusion.) Anyone have positive things to offer related to fecal transplant?? How long until you started to see any benefit? Thanks, Lynn
