Immunotherapy

My mother in law is currently having immunotherapy for lung cancer. She is suffering terribly with her mouth and stomach burning, to the point she nearly rang 111 last night as it was unbearable. Can anyone offer any advice on what she can do or take to help with this please. 

  • Hello and thanks for posting,

    I am sorry to hear about your mother in law. She needs to make prompt contact with her hospital team/specialist nurse today, as they will need to assess her and maybe prescribe some medications. Immunotherapy can cause various side effects, such as inflammation of the stomach and the mouth.

    I hope that she gets help soon,

    Best wishes,

    Vanda
