[Elderly mom with RA just diagnosed with stage 4 NSLC]

Hi- how is your mom doing ? Was she able to do immunotherapy with a pre existing autoimmune disease ? My mom has a high PD1 % but oncologist is saying not a candidate for immunotherapy due to Scleroderma. I have been doing some research that I would like to present to her oncologist. I hope you both are doing well.

[Looking for hope]

Hi,

I hope you’re well. My mom also has Scleroderma and NSCLC and oncologist is saying she can’t do immunotherapy. I have done some research and it seems a new study came our recently indicating that it may not be as harmful as previously thought. There is also a clinical trial right now for people with advanced cancer and autoimmune disease being given immunotherapy. What was your doctors reasoning for not giving it ? Sclero flare up? Thank you
