My Oncologist says we'll start 5 weeks from now, a few appointments 2 weeks apart then once a month for a year. Nothing is set yet. My Oncologist describes this treatment as the cherry on top of the sundae. Hope he's right.

Hi my mom is almost done with immunotherapy she had OPDIVO. We did the test to see if the cancer cells were producing more pdl1 proteins and they did: the immunotherapy works with that so that is good.
Sides effects: she has waves of tireness but nothing like she experience with chemo. Also few days after she has a runny nose.
Her skin is dry.
Despite this the year went really well.
