My wife was diagnosed with melanoma in her lungs nine years ago. She was in a drug trial for four years, but the cancer grew.
Five years ago she started immunotherapy using Opdivo (nivolumab) and her tumors shrunk. For five years she attended 30 minute transfusions every four weeks. Her cancer had shrunk drastically and it was suggested she stay in immunotherapy as long as it yielded results.
Last month she passed, not from the cancer but cardiac arrest following septic shock. After 9 years fighting cancer, her immune system was weakened. But immunotherapy works!
My condolences. For a time she had hope and a continued life with you. So sorry it finally ended.
So sorry for your loss. Prayers for you.
Just did a series of Provenge for metastatic prostate cancer after Nubeqa. PSA went from 1.5 to 5.3.
Feel good but not sure where this goes
