well you are doing great key is eating a healthy diet, keep yourself hydrated. exercise and keep busy with social contacts families. I prefer a mediterrenean diet. and dont think too much about outcomes. you will slay the dragon! Ramesh

Thank you. I'm alone in this. I can do it. 💪🏻

That's such a thoughtful welcome message - connecting with others who've walked this same path has been so valuable for me, and I'd also suggest asking about any side effects people experienced since immunotherapy can feel quite different from chemo.

Thank you. 🤍

Immunotherapy seems to be making me more tired than chemo and radiation ever did is that normal?

I went the same route as you but inflammation took over after my 3rd immunotherapy. Had to stop and now just monitoring. Very frustrating! I would agree with the fatigue though I think mine was more with the chemo/radiation. REST REST REST!! As much as you can anyway!

Thank you Denise

I had the same treatment and that was nine years ago(2017) and would gladly do it again. Doing well now!

Glad to hear that. Be blessed ALWAYS. 🙏🏻💙🙏🏻💙

You are doing great. I put my faith in Him and the rest was easier. Trust your doctors and listen to your body. Rest when you need it. Make sure you get enough protein in your diet. I worked full time all through my treatments and rested when I needed it. You will know. Praying for you.
