        Thank you for your responses. Indeed, the discussion went around the limited history of immunotherapy, getting vaccined and tests every three months. Fingers crossed!

          Thank you so much for your answer. So, it is possible to continue with immunotherapy, even two years after it was discontinued? That’s probably a relief.
          Also, can we feel optimistic about the fact that his recurrences were always locoregional?

            Thank you for replying. He will definitely talk to his oncologist about this. It is the gradual drop over the last few months which worried him, and I thought that this could be an uncommon side effect.

              This is reassuring. You didn’t have any problems even when you started the infusions again?

                    My husband had a horrible headache after his first or second ipi infusion, that was two years ago. We, too, went through all the worst possible scenarios, but what was really happening was he had developed severe hypophysitis, caused by ipi of course. He only found out before his fourth infusion, so he had to take cortisol supplements and he still does, probably for life. My advice is to visit an endocrinologist to make sure that your hormones are ok. Take care, I wish you the best
