Thanks Nick! Great info. My huddy did have cisplatin and entopside during the 1st chemo. it shrank one tumour and made the other one dormant. The 2nd time round, they used cisplatin and another drug, but it damaged his hearing so they changed to carboplatin. The 2nd chemo didn't work, despite they gave him the full dose and use a white blood cell booster during the treatment.

I'm so sorry to hear your multiple surgeries and chemo. It must be very hard going through all that. May I know what trial you have participated? Is Opdivo a chemo drug or immotherapy drug? If you could share more info, that will be great. Thanks, Val

Yes lost some hearing to tinnitus and neuropathy in the feet. However the immunotherapy Nivolomab ( opdivo ) is on a trial at the Marsden ( London ) for B3 and thymic cancer. The details are available on line. So far so good for many of my inoperable tumours had 6 fortnightly cycles so far and reduced some tumours by 25% which I feel is remarkable as chemo did little in the way of reduction. N
