I've had four strokes since starting cancer treatment and they suspected I had a heart problem. Went to see my cardiologist this morning and he tells me I have an entirely normal heart.

So go me. Nice news is nice.

Hey Vespa, how's the treatment going? Be good to get an update. My buddy is on about getting Immunotherapy (if I've said that right). Have you tried that?

Hope it's going OK and that you enjoyed Dune.

I was up for an immunotherapy trial but they thought I had brain cancer which turned out to be strokes.

Two doctors told me I had brain cancer, then they said I had a hole in heart - happily turns out that was wrong. Just the terminal cancer.

Blimey. Did they tell you BC after a CT scan?

U gonna do the Immunotherapy now then? I don't know much about it at the mo but I gather you have to be of a certain blood type to be compatible. It's the future of cancer treatment from what my buddy tells me but early days. I think he's gonna go for it so will report back any useful info.

I had to have an MRI as part of the trial and that saw brain damage from the strokes which excluded me from the trial and hence no immunotherapy. It would have been interesting because the trial was second generation drugs.

Never knew I had them so it's okay. The brain cancer thing was a bit depressing.
