According to the oncologist we consulted, immunotherapy can sometimes control metastatic cancer for years, essentially treating it like a chronic condition. However, it depends entirely on genetic markers like PD-L1 expression.

Yes, it has successfully put some metastatic cancers into long-term remission. Definitely consult an oncologist to see if your cancer has the right markers for it.

My father was treated with immunotherapy for metastatic melanoma, and his scans are clear now. It felt like a miracle after chemo failed, but it requires a lot of patience and regular hospital visits.

It can certainly help manage advanced cancer, but keeping the body physically strong is equally important. Gentle daily walks, if the oncologist allows, help a lot with managing the fatigue from the therapy.
