Yeah, my buddy survived it once, then it came back again as stage 4 and he beat it using immune based therapy. Now his adrenals and thyroid are dead. It's better than dying, but it's not free.
Edit: also, my buddy was the only guy in the study group who didn't drop out. He just happened to be a massive pill-head(opiates), and smoked a ton of pot, which probably helped get him through the side effects.
Immune therapies are worlds better than traditional chemo/rad, which often ended up giving you an entirely different kind of cancer years later, but they are not without side-effects.
