Thanks. In 2yrs I haven't been sick at all and I did not need the immunotherapy until after the first chemo was finished and I started this new chemo. So I guess it finishes when the chemo finishes...or 2 months after the chemo finishes.
The chemo will not eliminate the cancer but we will monitor for any symptoms after that.
They tell me there are no affects from the IVIG infusion but I reckon that is not true. I feel very ordinary and achy after. I know I am not imagining it. Anyone else care to share their experience?

Niece has regular immunotherapy infusions and feels carp for a couple of days. Also wears masks at times. Hers are for life as it's not for cancer treatment.

Has anyone experience with leg massages? Do they work or just a waste of money?

Targeting what? I have very tight calf muscles and have tried massage, but only with transient benefit. I've now been seeing a physio who does dry needling there and so far it is working well.

Some massage therapists will also do dry needling.

I have poor lymphatic drainage in my left calf due an old traumatic work injury. Coupled with a split fascia (place of impact) it can give me a fair degree of pain end of day after exertion.
