Immunotherapy

About to start immunotherapy…any tips…what to expect…how I’ll feel?

  • Hello bettynardy

    We have some information about targeted cancer drugs, including immunotherapy, on our website. It should hopefully give you some general answers and an overview of how you could feel after starting treatment. If you know the drug or combination of drugs you'll be taking you can read more about those on our cancer drugs A to Z list

    It's important to remember that everyone's journey through treatment is different, so while there may be many shared experiences among patients, not everyone will have the same experience. Hopefully you will respond well to your treatment but don't be afraid to contact your specialist nurse or doctor about any concerns you have. 

    If you'd like to chat with one of our 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 things go smoothly for you bettynardy. Keep in touch and let us know how you get on.

  • Hi Bettynardy

    There isn't an option to live chat by message, I'm afraid. You can post in our Ask the Nurses topic area and they will reply to your posts. Or alternatively, you can contact them using the Contact a Nurse form and they will reply to you via email. 

    I hope this helps.
