Fighting Lung Cancer: Oswald's Immunotherapy Story

  • Following diagnosis with stage 4 non-small cell lung cancer, Oswald began first-line treatment with PD-L1 checkpoint immunotherapy. Today, he is cancer-free. #CIM20
    On New Year’s Day 2017, Oswald woke up extremely sick. After a week of illness and wanting the best care possible, he left Brooklyn and went to Columbia University Medical Center where he was diagnosed with stage 4 non-small cell lung cancer. With a PD-L1 score of 80 percent, he was eligible for a newly approved first-line treatment with pembrolizumab (Keytruda), PD-L1 checkpoint immunotherapy. Almost immediately, he felt different; today, he has no evidence of disease. Now, every day is like a New Year’s Day for Oswald, and he looks forward to dancing in Trinidad's Carnival next year. www.cancerresearch.org/patients

      The immunotherapies will creep up on him and make him feel lousy over time, but they DO WORK.
      I have to be quick because today I go for my first radiation treatment...I would never be getting radiation if it wasn't for immunotherapies.

      @@E23LiL If your dad can get the original tumor removed by surgery or other means have that done. Some doctors try to make the case that immuno is soooo much easier than chemo, that is hogwash..Immunos will creep up on him, the longer that he is on them the harder the side effects hit.
      With that being said I have a very good feeling if he can tolerate them for a longer time the more his own immune system will destroy the tumors...
      Also there's a treatment called High Dose Interleukin II (2) These treatments will do A LOT of tumor destruction in a shorter period of time. If he is healthy enough, this might be something to inquire about...This is an old-school treatment BUT does work.
