Anyone having immunotherapy with Tecentriq?

Posted by robertswinehart @robertswinehart, Dec 16, 2025

I was taking Keytruda for 16 months and developed another tumor. Just finished radiation to kill the tumor and requested my Oncologist to try a different immunotherapy. We have agreed on trying Tecentriq.
Anyone else have experience with this treatment?
I have NSCLC Squamous cell Carcinoma cancer which always grows in my bronchial airway.
Have you had good results with Tecentriq?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Lung Cancer Support Group.

@robertswinehart, I did a quick search, and I'm not finding recent discussions referencing Tecentriq.
When are you scheduled to start the Tecentriq?

I started my 1st treatment 12/15/2025 and net one is 1/5/2026. Does not seem to be much information except for the web site regarding Tecentriq. I was on Keytruda for 16 months and developed a tumor in my left bronchial tube which required radiation treatment.
My oncologist was agreeable to quit Keytruda and try something else, which we settled on Tecentriq as from what i can find is better than Keytruda.
Was hoping to find others using Tecentriq and get their input, but does not seem others here are using it.
So far I am not having any reactions, though I think it is causing me some vision issues. Because of other vision issues it is difficult for me know. I will be going to my eye doctor in January and will discuss with him.

I have been on Tecentriq since March of 2019. No side effects. Stage 4 sclc and no evidence of disease NED.

@robertswinehart , How are you feeling after your second treatment? How long do you need to wait before you know if it is effective for you?

I have had not side effects except some itching, though not too bad and Benadryl takes care of it with on tablet.
As for how long to know if effective? I was on Keytruda, scheduled for 18 treatments but after 16 and a routine pet scan the cancer had returned to my left lung.
I have more confidence in the Tecentriq I am doing now, based on the data results in their test. Guess time will be the answer.
