Thanks, she had little to no side effects from the experimental immunotherapy drug. She'd said at the outset she didn't want to be a "chemo zombie" having been through all that about 20 years ago (she's had four different cancers throughout my lifetime, treatment getting better every time).

It's fucking expensive, but immunotherapy is really a miracle cancer treatment. We're not quite at "Oh you've just got a wee bit of cancer, we can give you something for that if you see the pharmacist on your way out" but we're not far off.
