Keeping Lung Cancer Under Control: Bob's Immunotherapy Story

- Bob was treated for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in a clinical trial with a checkpoint inhibitor called atezolizumab (Tecentriq). #CIM17 #CancerPatientStories #nsclc
When Bob was diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), his wife Julia was so devastated that she cried for several months thinking about her life without him. Bob weighed all his options with his oncologist. After trying chemotherapy, Bob found another treatment that would give him hope-immunotherapy. He enrolled in a clinical trial of a treatment that helps T cells to recognize and attack cancer cells. Six years later, Bob's health is stable and he remains optimistic. Bob and Julia urge others to not give up hope because advances in cancer research are rapidly providing new treatment options. www.cancerrese...

November 20, 2020 Update: Bob is doing well and still bird watching.
God bless you bob!! Good to here your doing well and keep up that bird watching! That's my passion also with my photography equipment .
Your story is a hope to me..
Is he still alive today and if he is still alive, does he still have cancer or is he completely in remission?
I don't know him personally, but I am soooooooo rooting for him!! How is he today Feb 2022?? Hope he is doing good.
How do I get to be apart of this study I have lung cancer myself
This video saved my aunt
I wish I had someone to be at my side through my cancer journey. Fighting cancer alone scares me as much as the cancer in me. Ernest
Omg, why alone? U have no one?
Chosing to live is the bravest choice.
me to
God bless u
My prayers are with u
I think hearing him say "lets do today" was pretty inspirational and something we all can live by.
Hi Bob I pray your still doing well!!!! I've watched your video numerous times it inspires me. I'm going through the same thing. Non small cell stage 4. This video really lifts me and gives me hope.thank you!!! I've been on kytruda for almost 2 years now. Had chemotherapy first then radiation. Now kytruda and it's working for now.
My whole world was recently diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. I watch this video literally every night before bed and it gives me so much hope. I’ve been learning a lot about immunotherapy and I have a lot of optimism and hope for new clinical trials and incredible stories like Bob’s. God Bless everyone 🙏🏻
Thank you for sharing your story, Jacey.

@@joeljoseph7852
Hi Joel!
Good luck to your mom I wish her the very best with great success!
My mom she past away…
@zovanyiattila3558 so sorry for your loss. how long after the treatment? Did she do chemo as well?
I pray that immunotherapy is the answer for curing cancer
My dad received his first treatment on Friday! This gives me hope ❤️
My mom got diagnosed with stage 4 squamous non-small cell lung cancer that metastasized to her spine (bone marrow).. she had as much as she could scraped of her spine and now she's getting ready to start the immunotherapy, I have real high hopes for her and I can't thank the cancer research institute enough for the hope they are giving cancer patients and their families! I LOVE my mom more than life itself! ❤
We wish your mom the best, Amanda!
I'm praying for you and your mom! my mom was diagnosed the same as your mom. We were told, my mom can't be help with any treatment. IAM heartbroken.
@@CancerResearchInstitute thank you all from the bottom of my heart, my mom is doing GREAT! She is as active as she ever was and thank GOD, her cancer has shrunk to less than the size of a dime! I will always support the cancer research institute as long as I live, you all are doing the LORD'S work and I'll be in debt to you as long as I'm living! Thank you again! ❤❤❤
@@tedawilliams thank you my friend, I know what you are going through.. we were told the same with my mom almost a year ago.. I was completely broken.. I don't know the circumstances of your mom's diagnosis but let me offer a little hope if I can.. cancer treatments have made leaps and bounds the last few years.. when my mom started immunotherapy, it was pretty fresh out of clinical trials.. this gave us hope and immunotherapy has been more amazing than I ever could have imagined.. her cancer was so bad, the surgeon who had to scrape it off her spine said he was surprised my mom wasn't paralyzed.. it was that bad! Please, look into immunotherapy.. I can't tell you enough about it! GOD bless you! I'll pray for your mom, and I'll pray for you! Just hang in there and keep her and yourself as positive as you can.! 🙏🙏❤❤
@@tedawilliams Immunotherapy AND (Keytruda) is what my mom had.. she's still doing the immunotherapy every few months.. you and your mom will be in my prayers! Hang in there, a positive frame of mind and strong faith will get you very far!
I've got diagnosis lung cancer in 2017 (not small cell lung cancer 3a with lymfen problems.
After chemo in combination with radiation it was a year still.
My mum died 7 months later from Alzheimer. In that period was a lot of stress with my sister. No support at all with my cancer those days
After all that grief and stress my cancer came back in March 2019.
That summer heavy chemo and now every 3 weeks imunnotherapy. That works I was stabile.
It is not only this but also, my mental health, mu patients, my support from other people, spiritual life. I mean there is so much more than only regular treatment.
Sorry for my lazy English.
God bless us all, 🙏😇🌠
God bless u. Sending many prayers for u!🙏🏾keep hope alive
God blessed you 🤍
i’m 13, my grandpa raised me. i found out he had small cell lung cancer and it mestastasized to his adrinal gland. i cry every night before i sleep if i even do, this gives me so much hope that you don’t even know.
Sadly immunotherapy doesnt work on Small Cell Lung Cancer.
@@joshuagarden7304 Hi Joshua. There are FDA-approved immunotherapies for small cell lung cancer and many more options in clinical trials. Learn more here: www.cancerresearch.org/immunotherapy/cancer-types/lung-cancer
Joshua Garden , well that’s unfortunate. i still appreciate you sharing your fight and encouraging others. you’re truly making a difference. thank you much , and goodluck , you got this.
How is your grandpa
I m so happy for you. Love from BELGIUM❤❤❤👏👏👏👍👍
My dad has stage 4 lung cancer, he is only 47 years old, and I'm really scarred... 😭 He's had his second Keytruda injection last week but we will only know the outcome after 4 injections. But can that treatment actually reduce the tumor(s)??? I've heard it can, but I'm not sure if that's true... It's amazing though how that man is still alive 6 years later 😍 It's really reassuring and motivating!
Hi Lily, I'm very sorry to hear about your dad and hope he'll be ok. Keytruda can very effectively reduce tumors when they present a certain biological behavior by keeping the immune system active against cancer cells. I wish you both all the best. No matter the outcome, cherish the time with your dad. Nobody can take that away from you.

This is a testimony of how my husband was diagnosed and what we did. One of those things was Keytruda. Best to your dad...My hubby is still here and going strong.
Lily Sten hey how r u?? How’s things ? Bit scared to ask but did medicine work .. xx
Can you please tell me the cost of this treatment??
Hi I have stage 4 melanoma in head and lungs....my keytruda took 24 doses before responding...so don't be be too much in a hurry...the keytruda for the first 24 doses had very little side effects....time to work seems to depend on braf status and if its wild type or not, and the person...mine was braf negative wild type....grows slow but braf negative means its not quite so easy to target...hang in there...they are coming up with good things.
My dad has lung cancer did not qualify for surgery or radiation, after a blood profile they said Keytruda was at 80% it will help him. So dad got his first Keytruda injection. I’m waiting to see what happens. I pray it works.... we are all praying. In 3 months we will get the first scan to see what happens. Everyone is saying it’s better than chemo
Any news? Hope your dad is doing ok. My mum has been diagnosed staged 4 non small Cell lung cancer . no surgery offered and likely no radiotherapy. We are waiting on results of mutation tests. Hoping something can be given to her
Sharon Money any news? I’m also suffering cancer, hope your ok
@@Armaninabz hope everything works out well for you
LJ-B thank you ♥️
Fenbendazole and Vitamiin E.
I only wish this treatment was available back in 2013 if it was we weren't told about it, what a shock it was to get the news that my husband was diagnosed with 4th stage NSCLC he was always at the gym and exercised and in good shape, the doctors only gave him the standard treatment of Chemo which was very hard for him to deal with and he was gone in 3 months, thanks Bob for your inspirational story.
:(
Great story Bob,from a fellow traveler!! Wonderful and inspiring testimony.
My mother is 80 years old never smoke in here life, always been strong and very active at her age, hardly visit the doctor of any kind. last month she was sick and started to cough constantly took her to emergency room, and it hit us like a brick! she was diagnosed with stage 4 none small cell lung cancer that metastasized to here bone and liver. Was told she not good candidate for neither chemotherapy, immunotherapy, even target pill. I feel like her oncology isn't doing his job, due to the COVID 19, we were never showed the pet Scan, just a called from the doctor. feel like my mom is being discounted due to her age. i need to get a second opinion.
So sorry that happened
The same thing is happening with my father -- they treated him like he was "over the hill" and their time is better spent with younger patients. He went through radiation, but it came back in 6 months. He is requesting Immunotherapy, but they say his PD-L number is too low.
So sorry to hear about your mom. Low carb ( though some say complex carb is good), no bread or pasta or white rice And zero sugar are things to keep in mind. Tumor needs sugar to grow. Carb turns to sugar in body. Eating salmon, sardines ( all wildcaught) and cruciferous vegs ( make bowl of rainbow vegs) is best- all organic. Use only Olive oil organic cold pressed, organic avacado and organic coconut oil. This diet change along with intermittent fasting have helped survivors. Don't feel helpless- read Dr william li book eat to beat disease. He gives a list of foods to include to stop excess growth of blood vessels that causes cancer. He calls these foods antiangeogenis. Cancer survivors are following these religiously. Research Guy Tennenbaum, Fred Evrard, JJ Trochon get their books. They give a blueprint on what to do to survive. Take care of your mom.
Wonderful news bob!!!!!!
Thank you for the great news!
OMG,u are so strong enough
My husband was told he doesn't qualify for immunotherapy due to his severe COPD. I wish so badly he could qualify😔
Bless you!!!
Thanks!!!
I have stage4 lung cancer diagnosed June 2022 I am on this targeted therapy I wish this therapy will help me.I have my hope this new drug will help me..thank for so much for the new drug research.
Hi Elizabeth, How are you now ? Wanna hear good news from you
My Dad is going to have immunotherapy this week for the first time. I'm very worried 😢

Stage 4 here
Hi stage four which cancer and what treatments are you using
Hows Bob now? Anyone knows?
How is bob doing?
Bob is doing well. The clinical trial in which he enrolled officially closed this week. Thank you for checking in.
Keep it under control, until when. İt had paused, but why does not disapear?
Stabilization of disease--stopping tumors from growing or significantly slowing their growth--is one of the ways patients can respond to treatment with immunotherapy. While these patients continue to live with cancer, it poses no immediate danger. In fact, many patients live for many years in this state. Having that extra time living with a good quality of life not only gets patients to that next birthday, graduation, or grandchild's birth, but it also makes it possible that other treatments on the near horizon may provide more benefit to these patients.
+Cancer Research Institute I have one doubt...how to develop lung inflammation artificially in normal lungs cell line?
Is this car T cell ??
Hi Mira. Bob was treated with a checkpoint inhibitor called atezolizumab (Tecentriq) www.cancerresearch.org/patients/immunocommunity/featured-stories/bobc
I just sort of beat vocal chord cancer only to be hit by lung cancer. One thing I have learned is the cruelty of god.
Any patient experience for extensive stage sclc lung cancer after being on atezolizumab or any other immunotherapy.
Please help me
