First of all, you have my sympathy. I'm a male, age 82, and was dignosed with stage 4 bladder cancer nine months ago. I took immunotherapy for five months, which was quite brutal because I couldn't eat, had to force feed myself, etc. Anyway, I terminated the treatments and am now taking wholistic Fenbendazle (500mg). I quit the immunotherapy six months ago & am now recovering from the immunitherapy treatments, taste buds, neuropathy in my hands and feet. In a nutshell, I believe that the immunotherapy may be good for younger people, but not when in our 80s. Just my humble opinion!

I appreciate you being so open with your information. May I ask which drug you were on for immunotherapy? It looks like Opdivo will be the way I have go. I was diagnosed in June with Stage 2 muscle invasive at age 54. I did chemo for three months prior to my surgery. I'm very nervous about my reaction to the Opdivo but understand everyone is very different in how they respond to it. Fingers crossed it will go smoothly. Nausea can be so difficult! Happy holidays and take care of yourself.
