Chemo only treatment

My husband did immunotherapy about 3 months post surgery and while he tolerated it well he developed BOOP - which is an non-bacterial pneumonia in his lungs. Treated with 60mg of prednisone for 4 weeks (he felt AMAZING due to steroids). After he stepped down off of them for a while they stopped immunotherapy. After a PET Scan the cancer had spread to lungs and the cells in his lymph nodes took a strong hold - so he's in his second round of Chemo (Oxyplatin and Folfox). Hoping for the best. He's in that awful chemo treatment mode...

@socalkelly thanks for sharing your experience. I'm sending tons of prayers your way! My family member is doing chemo and immunotherapy. Surgery is not an option.
