Hubby was dx a little over 5 years ago with buccal cancer, had surgery and max radiation. Within a month, more cancer and radical mouth/neck dissection. A few months later cancer back again so he did strong chemo every 3 weeks. He had remission for 2.5 years. Cancer back...docs talking about immunotherapy. Has anyone done this? how successful? many side effects? From what I've read..... this treatment is mostly associated with trials? Looking for more info so can ask doctors more informed questions. thanks

On your other post, Brian replied to you about immunotherapy. Im sorry but I dont have anything else to add to what Brian has written.

Brian is much better informed about immunotherapy than almost everyone here. His background includes being a member of the National Cancer Institute Oversight Committee on Immunotherapeutics in H&N Cancer. Im sure you will find his info helpful.

Best wishes with everything!!!
