Stage 4 Lung cancer and Immunotherapy

My dad is due to start Immunotherapy on Friday if he is fit enough. He was diagnosed 3 weeks ago with stage 4 lung cancer which has spread to shoulder, stomach and lymph glands in the stomach. Has anyone used immunotherapy or have any suggestions what we could do if he isn't fit enough for treatment? We are going to be looking at what we can do to make him more comfortable if he isn't able to receive treatment. Thanks

  • Hi JulieMH,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. Firstly I'm sorry to hear of what your dad is going through - I hope you are getting on OK.

    If you haven't already, it may be useful to search the forum (using the button in the blue bar above) for any other potentially relevant discussions. Hopefully you will also receive further replies - my reply here will boost your post so more people will see it.

    I would also encourage you to discuss your questions, particularly around treatment, with your dad's specialist so you can be as informed as possible about the options.

    I hope all goes well for Friday.

    Wishing you all the best,
