Immunotherapy isn't that bad. You'll have nausea, loss of appetite but try and nibble on something. Diarrhea plenty of liquids. This is why I like Orgain Protein powder, it will add a little muscle which your going to lose. Your body will tell you what works for you, this is my suggestions. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜‡๐Ÿซถ

Thank you Lisa
I just spoke with my oncologist she highly recommends immunotherapy for my situation. Sheโ€™s sees maybe two side effects in my case
Fatigue and possible diarrhea.
17 treatments in the next year
Thanks for the prayers.
I am a Christian and have strong faith. The future is in Gods hands and there is comfort knowing that is a perfect place to be.
Thanks again
