Good morning...I am currently on imfinzi and just had my 16th infusion out of a planned 26 I really haven't had any issues other than tiredness and on occasion a rash on my arms and legs but it doesn't bother me. I have the infusion every other week. Good luck
Thank you for sharing! I'm optimistic that I will start to feel better once I'm finished with the chemo/radiation and get started on Imfinzi. Wishing you good scan reports and continued good response!!
I have 3 more weeks of chemo/radiation to go—the first month was not too bad physically. Eating small soft frequent meals and drinking lots of water helps. Emotionally, I am focused on each day and staying active despite the fatigue. I’ve been walking and doing chair yoga (stretching), and going out to lunch with friends which reminds me to laugh! The next 3 weeks are going to be the toughest with more fatigue, inflamed esophagus and skin. One day at a time, and I will get there with God’s help. I hope they’re able to choose a treatment plan that works for you! Prayers and hugs!!
I have stage4 lung Mets. Having 2nd opinion Wednesday on treatment plan. Currently was told there is no immune therapy drug that targets my type. Glad they are giving you one that targets your particular cell type. Was chemo and radiation tough to handle both mentally and physically? Prayers for a cure!!
