I was deemed unsuitable for surgery due to having COPD. So I’ve had radiotherapy, chemotherapy and immunotherapy. The tumour has shrunk but after only 3 of 12 doses of immunotherapy my consultant has stopped it due to my suffering bad side effects, colitis. My question is are there any other treatments available as my consultant is being rather vague. I’m to have another scan soon and he has said we will discuss things after that. Is it correct that the various therapies can still be having an effect even though I had my last radiotherapy in February?
so far I have had great faith in my consultant but since my problems with the immunotherapy he has seemed to be less confident in any treatment plan. I would like to know what options, if shy, might be available.
Thank you.
