    Hi,
    It’s great reading about these new treatments/developments.
    I am based in the UK and wonder – does anyone know or have experience of immunotheraphy being used in the UK??

    thanks,

    Kate

    Thank you for your replys. So far she is just very tired and extremley cold which is not helped by the weather here in the UK!
    She’s had slight tingling in her fingers and feet but I am guessing this will get worse as time goes on!

    Hi Sandy,

    I just wanted to message you as we are also based in the UK. My Mum had nanoknife at the beginning of September and so far the news on the tumour that was ablated seems good. Unfortunately at the time it had already spread and she has a couple of nodules on her stomach. She is currently having 6 months of chemo to try and shrink these nodules. we are hoping that the next scan she has will show what effect the nanoknife had on her original tumour in her bile duct. We have everything crossed it is good news.

    I wanted to message you also as i know there are a limited number of people with experience of nanoknife in the UK.

    Good luck

    Hi,
    Thanks for your kind words lainy and Gavin.
    Mum is feeling very well. Her first round of chemo was tough so they have reduced her second cycle to 75%. She had this yesterday so we are waiting to see how she goes.

    So apart from chemo her only other problem is lack of appetite but this slowly seems to be returning.

    Lisa I would be really interested to hear more about your experiences with nano knife. How long ago did you have the procedure?
    How could doctors tell it was successful? Did your tumor shrink? Did you continue with chemo for very long?
    We are finding that because it is not an approved treatment in the UK mums oncologist is very sceptical about how well it will work!

    Xx
