Targeted therapy
I was diagnosed with stage 4 last December.
Did chemo but could not do cisplatin because of kidneys
Destroyed my blood system so no more chemo.
After 5 months on immunotherapy, my lymph nodes are still swollen so now for targeted therapy. I am so scared and nothing seems to be working.
Hi
, I'm so sorry to hear that things haven't been going well for you with Cisplatin. What exactly happened with your kidneys if you don't mind sharing. I'm sending you so much love as you navigate this. Please know I've heard lots of stories of people who haven't initially had success but later found a way, like through bladder removal. sending you so much love.
Do you and your doctor have a path forward?

@JulieH - I agree with Jada regarding finding the treatment that works for you. Unfortunately it is not always the first treatment that is tried. I am sending prayers that you find what works for you. My best to you. LInda ( Moderator, Bladdercancer.net team member)
I can't imagine how scary it must be when nothing seems to be working. Some great encouragement from Jada and Linda. Keep thriving until you find the treatment that works for you. I'll be sending blessings your way, too.
