Members shared their experiences with Tecentriq immunotherapy for lung cancer, with many reporting that it was far easier to tolerate than chemotherapy, though some experienced fatigue, loose stools, and low appetite as side effects. Several members described positive outcomes, including shrinking tumors and minimal side effects after completing chemo, while a few mentioned oligoprogression, where new tumors developed despite older ones continuing to shrink. A recurring theme was gratitude for a treatment that allowed them to feel less sick and continue living their lives, paired with encouragement and prayers for one another.

I am on Tecentriq since August 17, 2021 I was doing OK, tumors were shrinking slowly when suddenly I have oligo progression and I went through SBRT.
I am back on Tecentriq now My last scan shows tumors shrinking.

Tecentriq is another immunotherapy. I have loose stools and some fatigue. It's not like chemotherapy. I am tolerating it pretty well and have been on it since October
