Hello Sue

I'm sorry to hear that your husband has recently been through surgery for kidney cancer. I hope that he has recovered well from the surgery and is feeling ready for the next phase of his treatment. 

I'm not sure that we have any members who are currently undergoing immunotherapy for kidney cancer but we do have some information on our website about immunotherapy that may be helpful to you. 

If you'd like to talk with one of our team of nurses at any point, you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can. 

I hope this stage of treatment runs smoothly Sue. Do keep in touch and let us know how you're both coping. 

Best wishes,

Hi, I’m so sorry for what you are all going through. I have had immunotherapy (weekly) mixed in with chemotherapy,, and a friend is having immunotherapy every 6 weeks- but both of us for breast cancer. We both have had very few to no side effects .  it is an insurance layer for her and I had really good ‘shrinkage’ results from it. I know ideally you are looking for someone with kidney cancer to reply, but hope it takes any fear of the treatment away as I think it is generally well tolerated. Best of luck 

Thank you for your reply it's good to hear from others experiences it does make me feel more relaxed... Well a bit! My husband is so laid back he is going tomorrow for the first treatment then every 6 weeks thereafter. I really appreciate that you took the time to reply x
