Exciting to hear good news on your results! I will be starting Tivdak treatment for my cervical cancer soon. Side effects sound scary so started doing research on here. This gives me some hope as I was pretty disappointed and scared when my first treatment plan didn't get the response we were hoping for from my tumor. Best wishes to you on your journey!

@ratt0031 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect and to our Gynecological Cancers Support Group. I hope you will find our support helpful to you. I certainly did when I first joined in 2019 after I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer and had a hysterectomy.
May I ask a little more about your own journey? You wrote that you were disappointed and likely very frightened when your first treatment plan did not work out. Do you know when you will starting your new treatment?

Best wishes to you as well! I’ve had 11 TIVDAK infusions to date. This week I am taking a break from it and start back up next week. I needed more recovery time. TIVDAK does work; keep that in mind. Side effects will be different for everyone. Mine have been fatigue, bladder issues like urge frequency for up to 10 days after the infusion; dry flaky skin, joint pain, and spotting. You just have to power through all of this!
