I was given 5 months to live back in 2016 when diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer. I did a clinical trial with infusions of pembrolizumab and ramuciromab every 3 weeks  for 2 years. I am still here, good luck.

I was diagnosed with a secondary brain tumour, primary being lung cancer. Brain tumour was removed completely and I had pembrolizumab treatment every 6 weeks for 2 years. I am pleased to say that it worked so well for me with mild side effects of tiredness and dry skin. The tumours were reduced in size and have stayed the same ever since. My brain tumour has not grown back and here I am 5 and a half years later living a normal life as if the cancer never happened.  I set myself little goals and keep a positive mindset. I'm awaiting my most recent scan results and I fully expect things to be just as they have been each time but obviously you never know, so I do prepare myself for bad news just in case. I am one of the lucky ones. I lost my mum and aunt to lung cancer, my aunt was 53, my mum was 57 and passed away just 9 weeks after diagnosis. I turned 60 last July and put it all down to the immunotherapy.  Treatment has come such a long way since my mum and aunts days. 

Brilliant to read this post!   That is spectacular news. I too am convinced that immunotherapy is the way forward and hearing your feedback encourages me to believe that I’m correct. 
keep well and all good wishes.
