non-small cell lung cance
"My wife started treatment with pembrolizumab in March of this year having been told that she was an ideal candidate. The previous three years of 4 regimes of chemo and 15 sessions of radiotherapy had only managed to contain the lung tumor although the last scan before starting the immunotherapy did show a slight growth. Unfortunately since being on this treatment for the last four months the cancer has spread to her spine causing extreme pain and the lung tumor has also "mildly" increased in size. My wife is now waiting to start a course of radiotherapy to treat her spine, in the hope this will help reduce the pain, followed by a further regime of chemo."
