Unfortunately, I do know of others who this has not worked for them. For some of the patients who have passed away, the new immunotherapy meds allowed them to have some precious quality time by extending their life by several months/years. Hoping you become another patient who reports success with the new immunotherapy treatments work for.
Please keep us posted!!! I know Ive been following your journey and appreciate any updates you share with us. Best of luck with everything!!!
