Hello @ronsale. My oncologist mentioned using steroids (cortisone) to help control side effects of an immunotherapy and I wondered if that has been suggested to you? I was on a different PD-L1 inhibitor for 2 years but managed through without needing any treatment for side effects. A holiday from infusions was also discussed but I don't know how long a break would be needed to clear the rash. It sounds like your tumor is responding to this treatment plus palliative radiation and I hope that continues for a long time.
