Immunotherapy Easier Than Chemo?

Posted by Treebyriver @treebyriver, Dec 3, 2018

Hi I am coming up on my fourth immunotherapy at MDA in Houston. I am finding that I am having to unlearn some of my expectations with experiences with chemo since immunotherapy is different and at this point easier.

I have had small skin rashes, another level of fatigue, and other minor side effects.
On the week that I had both ingredients, I had a temperature that rose and fell and an achey neck for about six days.
Overall, I am just not worn out as much as I was with chemo.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Pancreatic Cancer group.

I am in cycle 2 of a shrew venom biologic trial now.

Which immunotherapy agent are you receiving? I've heard about the fevers but it sounds like you're faring well.

Someone here asked me for the trial I was on that worked well for me. https://www.mdanderson.org/patients-family/search-results.html
