  • Hi 

    just wondering has your husband started the immunotherapy yet and how he’s getting on . 
    I also had a nephrectomy in October and supposed to be starting immunotherapy next week . I’m a bit nervous and don’t really know what to expect 

  • Hello, 

    My husband is doing well he had the first immunotherapy session in early December the next one is due in a couple of weeks time. He gets tired at times and has been a little achey in his joints but to be honest he was like that before but overall he said he feels so much better especially since the kidney was removed. His energy, appetite and mood is much better also he has gained weight too. Hope this puts your mind at rest a bit do please keep in touch and let us know how you are getting on. In the meantime sending a big hug for you xxx
