Started immunotherapy maintenance: What side effects can I expect?

@ta52 Good for you! If you tolerated the regular infusions well and are feeling no real ill effects now you may be one of the people who are able to tolerate this well. I hope it works very well for you and gets rid of the cancer and you stay relatively symptom free!! My husband had the complete opposite effect. He suffered with every symptom and now has some serious side effects from the maintenance. Moral of the story. Keep a positive attitude but pay close attention to anything that might seem amiss to you and report it quickly to your doctors. Hugs and hope for this continuing in a positive way for you!

Thanks, Cindy. With all of the scans come other issues that have probably been hiding for years: kidney stones, enlarged prostate, etc. which they are dealing with in the here-and-now to head off complications in the future. While I feel positive about my direction I carry a real heavy sense of survivor's guilt when I hear about people like your husband and see other cancer patients on a much tougher road when I'm at Mayo. Cancer is cruel.
