    1. I want to know from someone who has had treatment with Durvalumab. What the severity of the symptoms are, for real!

      1. It's been a year since you asked but I just found this post and I wanted to share. My father had this treatment. After the second infusion, he experienced weak neck muscles to the point where he cannot hold his head up anymore. They gave him a bunch of saline IVs over the course of a week which seemed to help some. But we haven't gotten a good answer on long term prognosis.

        1. Thinking of you and your father - please do keep us updated. Warmly, Margot, LungCancer.net Team
