Immunotherapy- is anyone
involved in any of the clinical trials now taking place. Would like some input
on your experiences- here is mine so far-After being diagnosed 11/12/2012 and
then undergoing a round of carbo/ taxol/ avastin- - then maintenance avastin
for about 8 months ( I began to go into remission after my second blast of
chemo) I was off of everything until a slow progression was found in August of
2014. I was given options - and I decided to participate in a clinical trial
here in my hometown for nivolumab. I underwent a bronchocopsy in early
September to mine more tissue for targeted therapies and was told I was not a
match for any of the current drugs out there. My opinion, for what it is worth
(?) - I think it is all a XXX shoot and I am just happy to still be here. On
the whole I feel good, side effects are slight compared to chemo. Chemo left me with neuropathy – so I now have
balance challenges.
