Immunotherapy duration varies greatly from person to person and depends on how the treatment is working and how well it's being tolerated. The oncology team will regularly monitor progress through scans and blood work to determine whether to continue, adjust, or change the treatment plan. It takes tremendous courage to face such a challenging diagnosis, and the fighting spirit mentioned here is so important during this journey. Many others in this community understand the uncertainties that come with immunotherapy treatment and may be able to share their experiences with similar situations.
