Hi @3122, I hope your husband is tolerating the immunotherapy, and that it will be effective for him with minimal side effects. Here's a link to another discussion specific to mesothelioma and immunotherapy:

Was he diagnosed recently? Is the immunotherapy his first treatment?

My husband has stage iv lung cancer and advanced COPD. He just had his first treatment on Dec. 10th. He is getting two different chemo drugs and one immunotherapy drug. He is not feeling well at all Just sleeps a lot and hardly is eating. Has nausea. This will be a long road for both of us and you and your husband. Hopefully your husband will try and eat and do what is recommended. My husband will not do any of the things that the doctors would help him in feeling better. Did your husband get his first treatment yet? How is he feeling? How are you doing?
