Immunotherapy

Discussion Topic

Have they come up with a time frame of how long someone should be on immunotherapy? I've read in posts not medical articles that some are doing two years and stopping.  Do you think that's going to be the time frame? And if they do go off after two years and the cancer recurs, does that mean immunotherapy did not work? Thanks, great to be back.

Take care, Judy
