Started immunotherapy for kidney cancer: Not sure what to expect
Kind of scary, not sure what the side effects will be.

This too shall pass.
I had my kidney surgery last December 2024, they removed 10% of right kidney. Now going thru MRI, 4 times this year and twice next year.
@ronc531, what treatment are you on? How are you doing?
immunotherapy, not doing too bad.
fatigue, itchy, joints hurt, started having Kidney pain but not sure if that has anything to do with it. Only got sick once but vomited up a little blood. the pills I got for when I start feeling sick help a lot.
Took the week off work so I didn't have to worry about my reaction.
Going to try Acupuncture for the stress and joint pain. used to do it before and worked great.
Could be worse, happy if this is all I have to deal with.
They are saying I might have to start going every 2 weeks after my first 4 treatments and I go to 1 of the drugs instead of the 2 I'm doing now. Not looking forward to that, they have problems sometime drawing blood now so having it done 6to 8 times a month will suck.
