Afternoon all, a year ago I was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer in the left breast, a 4cm mass was removed by lumpectomy.
It was then found to have spread to my lungs. Was initially given 2 years approx.
Had 6 cycles of chemo and immunotherapy and my first scan showed that most of the tumours in my lungs had gone and the biggest had shrunk from 11mm to 3mm.
I’ve now been on just immunotherapy for 4cycles and wondered if anybody had been through anything similar and how well has the immunotherapy work on its own. I have my first scan since changing treatment next week and am worried they might have started growing again.

Hello, I haven’t but are you triple negative? I only ask as it sounds more common for that type of SBC and there is a SBC triple negative group on here that are probably more likely to have had immunotherapy.
