My 72 year old husband has stage 4 squamous cell lung cancer. It is non operable and he has 3 new nodes. He has had 5 chemo (carbo/taxal) and 30 radiation treatments. We are currently in the ER after side effects from 2nd immunotherapy (durvalumab/imfinzi) treatment. They are running lots of tests to ensure no damage to organs. Scary stuff and a little disheartening. We are both hanging in there.

Oh gosh, that is scary and disheartening. Just imagine that I'm bringing you a steaming cup of tea while you wait. It'll have to be a virtual tea, I'm afraid.

Members are talking about Imfinzi (durvalumab) in this discussion, in case it might have helpful info for you:

I hope you can return home to your bed soon. Did your husband have reactions to the first infusion with durvalumab?
