Anyone had immunotherapy for treating soft tissue sarcoma?

Hi there. I was diagnosed with stage 3 indifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma. Have had consults at UCDavis, UCSF (Dr. Monga & Dr. Murray - surgeon). Last consult scheduled at Stanford next week. Before we knew the exact type, both institutions recommended 5 weeks radiation, 1 month to heal, followed by surgery. Following further pathology, Dr. Monga now recommends immunotherapy for 1 year. I am close to your age - 69. Was the only side effect you had diarrhea, as I can handle that. It’s the risks to thyroid etc etc that concerns me. Any thoughts?

@czhealth There are different solutions used for immunotherapy. I am being administered Keytruda. So far, no side effects. As with all medications, the risk to benefit has to be weighed before deciding to take the medication. I recommend relying on the advice of your doctor or if doubt seek out another opinion. I am receiving chemo and immunotherapy administered by the Barnes Jewish Siteman Ctr for Cancer treatment. They have a clinic specializing in the treatment of Sarcoma Cancer.
