Yes, they also said mine was IIIB...but I'm 77 years old, so I think that's part of it as well as the degree of difficulty getting at the lymph nodes. The radiation was not easy, but I think the chemo was worse...at the 6th week. What a mess I was..it made me so sick with nausea, diarrhea, and extreme fatigue. But the last one was not so bad as they upped the anti-nausea med. They also put me on Omeprazole 40mg and Sucralfate for the "acid reflux". Personally, I don't think it does much, but I will finish taking it. I truly believe that the surgery is not an option at this point, so not sure what the immunotherapy will do other than buy a little time. I did look up the side effects of Imfinzi - not pretty 🙁
Anyway, you keep us posted as well. Sending hugs..
