Hello and thanks for your post

I'm not sure what sort of immunotherapy your doctors have in mind but unfortunately, all drugs can have side effects and it isn't possible to predict who will get them or to what extent.  A lot of people seem to get on better with immunotherapy than chemotherapy, but we can't say if you will be one of them.

Some people are able to carry on working during treatment but it's a question of seeing how things go.

There is always the option of stopping a treatment if it is causing too many side effects or having a big impact on your quality of life. We would always advise that you speak to your doctors or specialist nurse beforehand as they know all about you and can help you to reach an informed decision about what would be best for you.

I hope things go well for you. Give us a ring if you would like to talk things over. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

Kind regards,
