- Ed hates cancer and he’ll tell you as much. He was diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer, the same disease that took his mother. At the time he was diagnosed, Ed’s cancer had advanced to stage 3. From the moment he discovered he had cancer Ed knew he needed to go beyond traditional treatments to beat it. Ed’s oncologist asked him to consider trying IMFINZI (durvalumab). Ed’s cancer has now been eradicated and he believes immunotherapy is opening doors for patients to live longer.

I am glad that the immunotherapy eradicated Ed's cancer and he is alive and well today.
“I hate cancer” is an understatement.
Thanks for sharing, glad you are doing well. What is the name of the immunotherapy drug used?
Hi Sheila, Thanks for watching! Ed received IMFINZI (durvalumab).
hello is this drug the same as pembrolizumab? my father will start his immunotherapy next week using the mentioned drug. and may I know how many cycles Ed went through? @@CancerResearchInstitute
@Cancer research Institute
Is the immunotherapy IMFINZI ( Durvalumab) is the next line of of NSCLC when Tagrisso ceases working?
What are the criterias for this specific type of immunotherapy to be prescribed to NSCLC patients?
Hi Ed so happy your doing well and beat your cancer 🙏 my Aunt was recently diagnosed with the same exact lung cancer as you she is 85 but in excellent health for age do you think she is too to survive like you did she did her first treatment with keytruda I saw your video and was thinking maybe she should take the same immunotherapy drug as you what are your thoughts
How’s your Aunt now?
My grandmother is stage 4 lung cancer and is 85 also. She’s just starting this treatment tomorrow. I’d love to know how she’s feeling!
Great, well done. Can this same immunotherapy be used to eradicate stage 4 NSCLC?
Hello, For more information on immunotherapy for lung cancer, and specifically for NSCLC, please take a look at our website: www.cancerresearch.org/cancer-types/lung-cancer
@@CancerResearchInstitute. How fast does. Non small cell Adenocarcinoma take to , metastasize how fast does it grow? If it is in the lobes of your lung, upper and lower lobes where is it gonna go if it metastasized out of the lobes is it gonna go to my brain or is it gonna go to you know my liver, kidneys or whatever can you please answer and we love this channel. We love you and thank you for all that you’ve done.❤
My mother is stage 4 that moved to her liver. She is on keytruda immune therapy. 3 yrs now. Someone with her cancer would not of made it 12 months 5/6 yrs ago. I know it does depend on bio markers.
@@godschild3640from what I’ve researched it does grow quickly but it’s less aggressive then small cell lung cancer. Every person is different I had a friend diagnosed same time as my mom went to her brain and she lived a very short time. My moms moved to her liver and has been on immunotherapy for a little over 3 yrs now. To be honest I believe the side effects from the treatment will take her before the cancer. This is a great program but it does also break down healthy cells. Wishing everyone who is in treatment the absolute best. Also side effects for mom have been minimal.
Define immuntherapy because we went through years of one type of C then it came back as another type. With all rhe chemo etc not one word on immunotherapy. ?
