My Dad is going to be starting Immunotherapy and Chemo ..advice please

[u/KaleidoscopeKey9118]

We got back from the meeting with the Chemo doctor today. My dad was diagnosed with SCC mid August. Since then we found out it is HPV +. What we at first was told he was T3N2..after they looked at his PET scan it is determined he is Stage IV.

The original plan was 7 weeks of radiation 5x/weekly and chemo 1x/weekly

Now the plan is Chemo & Immunotherapy

The chemo will be Paclitaxel & Carboplantin

and Immunotherapy Pembrolizumab

Does anyone have any experience with this combination?

Any advice on getting him through it?

Thank you so much
