Tidvak (tisotumab vedotin) therapy for Metastatic Cervical Cancer

Posted by cancerback @cancerback, Oct 28, 2022

Has anyone started treatment with Tidvak for Stage IVa metastatic cervical cancer? It has very scary side effects and I am interested in how patients are responding.

Yes, after immunotherapy (keytruda) did not work for me, my oncologist started me in TIVDAK. I have had 3 treatments so far and supposed to have 9. The side effects are a reality. Extreme fatigue, hair loss, PN, general malaise like you have severe flu but without the respiratory issues, etc. But I decided to power through this treatment and see what happens. I’m doing what I can to mitigate the side effects, mainly immune boost IVs on non treatment weeks. I will probably have my next scan I. A few weeks to gauge progress. They took a benchmark CA-125 a few weeks ago and it was 153. So that is being watched.
