Hi everyone. My very brave husband is enduring extention to life immunotherapy just now and has been diagnosed with Addison disease now as adrenal glands no longer working. Have a call with oncologist tomorrow but has anyone who has dealt with this any advice? Breaks my heart how weak he is just now and fyi he has been dealing with many mets of renal cancer for over 10 years so he doesn't give up easy. TIA xx
