Finding Another Treatment Option for Stage 4 Lung Cancer: K.C.’s Immunotherapy Story
Vložit
- čas přidán 17. 06. 2018
- K.C. was initially diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer in 2015. After receiving chemotherapy and radiation, her healthcare team was not optimistic-her cancer had spread to her lymph nodes and progressed to stage 4. K.C. sought a second opinion in Houston and began treatment of nivolumab. #CIM18 #PatientStories
She responded to the immunotherapy immediately, and her recent scans show no evidence of disease. Today K.C. continues to work full-time and experiences new adventures with her two daughters, Avery and Anna, and her husband, Joey. www.cancerresearch.org/patients.
This video is presented as part of the Cancer Research Institute 6th Annual Cancer Immunotherapy Month awareness campaign this June 2018. Learn more about cancer immunotherapy and its potential to save more lives at www.cancerresearch.org/june.
Established in 1953, the Cancer Research Institute (CRI) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to harnessing our immune system’s power to control and potentially cure all cancers. Our mission: Save more lives by fueling the discovery and development of powerful immunotherapies for all types of cancer. To accomplish this, we rely on donor support and collaborative partnerships to fund and carry out the most innovative clinical and laboratory research around the world, support the next generation of the field’s leaders, and serve as the trusted source of information on immunotherapy for cancer patients and their caregivers. www.cancerresearch.org
How and why would this uplifting video get thumbs down votes? I am a lung cancer patient too, and whenever another patient has success with a treatment, I am happy for him or her.
songdreamer142 maybe thumbs down for cancer, not for the therapy or this woman?
Probably someone who had a lovede one it didn't work on...
Emotions...
I finally got cured, since after 2 years I'm now Free❣️💓💓 I appreciate God

I just started immunotherapy a week ago after doing chemo and radiation. I hope I have the success she has. They tell me I have to take it for a year. Keep in mind I only had up to a year when I was told I had cancer. I think God has more for me to do before I leave this world but it still worries me when I get up and my body just feels like it can't go on. Good luck to all that is going through cancer treatments.
GOD will give u strength to heal , his blessings will always be you ... Take Alkaline diet no Non Veg..more fruits and vegetables that too organic .
We are hear for u buddy 😚
We will be hear always
God bless you can do it!
Buddy, hope you feel stronger when your body builds up after cancer and treatments made you feel so weak.
My loved one battles metastasists now. Very, very sick. Hope immunotherapy will help him, next week.
Greatful it's available, because not everyone can get it.
Wish you the best!
I cried during this video. For Me the hardest part is if you have cancer or covid or anything in general is to leave the memorys and family behind.
Light and love to all the people who have been treated and cured, also praying for the disliked thumbs down
Thanks for the positive feedback, Peter.
Sometimes people give thumbs down, because they might have lost a loved one cancer and it hurts so intensely, that you don't want to see the video come up on your suggestion list again and again. . People have their reasons and it's not right to judge. Of coarse I'm happy for those who survive cancer, but imagine loosing your child to it.... So please don't judge, you don't know the whole story.
Congrats,KC! Ring that bell loud and clear!!
I love happy ending story. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for this. I have stage 4 colon cancer and I’m staying strong everyday, I would like to learn more about getting immunotherapy, I have chosen to do everything as natural as I can, I am only 29. Was 27 when diagnosed
May I ask what natural remedies you are taking,
Muffa James what type of help
Muffa James who??
I hope u still fine right now
My mother have stage4 anal cancer now she is treat immunotherapy.....

I have lung cancer and I’m on immunotherapy, you give me hope iv been on my treatment after chemotherapy I understand not two people are the same but thank you for sharing your story. God bless you 💕💕
@Susan Morris hey dear how have you been now?
My mom just got diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer and my brother passed almost 2 yrs ago from liver cancer I’m so down
😢 I hope you are OK?
Stay strong 💪
I've been stage 4 for 18 months now, I had a brain tumour removed in October, I have/had tumours in my lung and windpipe too and I feel fighting fit !!
Stage 4 is not a death sentence... ❤
Awesome👍👏.. So happy for you..
This touched my ❤️
Thank you for watching! We hope you found it informative and inspiring :)
That's really good. It's great that you are in remission.
Please 🙏 🙏 pray for my husband lungs cancer first chemo
Its not fair that people are going through this every day it's pure unfair like 2 year olds have cancer
Man, life is a roller coaster. I started immunotherapy yesterday. I am hoping for the best because other treatments failed. I did get RF Ablation on my biggest tumor (I have many). I would highly suggest it because it has a 98% success rate.
This video is 5 years old so I am hoping and praying that you are still in remission.
Get well soon bro 🤝🏻
I've heard such amazing things about immunotherapy!!
I'm sure it will be this way for you too 😊
It wasn't compatible with mine, I'm stage 4.. my options are now running out a bit 😂
But I stay strong.. what else can we do ?!
All the best ❤
This is very relevant information and important video. Thank you so much.
God bless
Great video! Thank you!

It's been over a month and a half since they found the cancer but I haven't had one bit of chemo yet. All I've been doing is struggling with effed up receptionists who even question the doctor on 'how things work.'. I'm getting really tired of it because everyone blames me. I feel like I'm all on my own.
We're sorry to hear that. There are several organizations that can connect you to a patient advocate or peer support group to help you through your cancer journey. www.cancerresearch.org/patients/free-resources-support-answers/helpful-links
@sa hey dear how have you been now?
GOD BLESS YOU
Are you in the UK?
If so,there's absolutely no reason that you should be going through this alone.
I have no family and a few friends who are very supportive but can't do much because of their own family commitments.
But what I do have,is a very loving,caring, professional team around me including lots of support from MacMillan.
Nobody can convince me that those beautiful people aren't angels.
So,why are you alone when there's lots of help available?
God bless!!! 🙏🏿💜
I finally got cured, since after 2 years I'm now Free❣️💓💓 I appreciate God
what treatment worked for you?

People should have the option to pick which treatments they want. I don’t know why you have to do chemo and radiation first begore you get to do immunotherapy. Its just not fair.

Hey dear howz your father doing now?
I just wonder why this kind of treatment is not standard so many years later. My brother died 3 weeks ago from lung cancer and no one ever gave him this option, just horrible chemotherapy 😭
Hi Jennifer, thank you for sharing your story with us. We are so sorry to hear about your brother. Immunotherapy is considered new/existing immunotherapy strategies are always being evaluated in new settings (both cancer type/disease stage).
@@CancerResearchInstitute thanksa lot for your message of sympathy and for your kind response. I honestly hope that soon this will be standard treatment for patients. Keep up the good work.

Is this treatment normally referred by the diagnosing specialist or does the patient needs to sign up somewhere and start the process on his own. Thx.
It's best if you ask your oncologist if it's available for you. To learn more about immunotherapy for lung cancer: www.cancerresearch.org/immunotherapy/cancer-types/lung-cancer
I'm in battle of a stage 2 lung cancer as well. I just finished my chemo therapy sessions.. and I won't do it again.. Surgery is suggested but too risky and another chemo therapy session but won't do it. I want a less painful excruciating suffering than Chemo. Going through chemo is like dying inside.
Are you good now? What were your first symptoms of it
Stay strong hugs! You got this.
I have stage 3b lung cancer had my right lung removed middle and lower lobe , did 12 rounds of chemo , and now in remission for a year and a half, it’s tuff but you will get through it . My prayers are with you . Be positive!

Immunotherapy really should be standard. Sad that it isn’t.
Why is it NOT???
@@michellemichelle5202 Are you able to say why or if you think why immunotherapy isn’t a standard concert treatment?
@@saintjabroni um no. I’m not a part of The medical field or FDA
@@michellemichelle5202 Gotcha...I figured not. Just am new to these concerns and wanted to ask. I don’t know what would stop a cancer patient from pressing their oncologist for a certain kind of treatment over another. Like be given options. If not then if there’s an option to request an oncologist who will. *sigh*
