Any positive stories from those on immunotherapy
For context, I had the HPV vaccine and clear smears and still ended up with HPV cervical cancer. I did chemo radiation throughout the summer of 2025 and achieved a CR to my primary tumour before brachytherapy in the September. However, during my follow up scan in January 2026, I had something known as skip metastasis which jumped to both lungs and nodes. They restaged me to 4B and I was put in the quad regime. By cycle 3, I’d achieved a CR in my lungs and my nodes were responding, by cycle 6, they looked completely healthy. My oncologist said it was likely gone in my nodes by cycle 3 too but they couldn’t call it.
I’ve now began the two year journey with immunotherapy, my CPS score is 5. My oncologist said it’s still control and quality of life but that people can maintain for years and years, even beyond maintainance and that if it attempts to come by they will treat aggressively.
I’ve been in fight mode for so long that I’m now beginning to relax but I’m petrified it will come back. I keep seeing stories where it’s only worked for 1 year and it’s recurred.
Does anyone have positive stories/experiences where it’s actually stayed gone. It would be nice to hear some positive news - especially for anyone stage 4B or from those who achieved NED.
