Despite recent scans showing gradual improvements, immunotherapy failed and rapid progression led to heart, lung and kidney failure in days. My mom passed away peacefully today. She fought a fierce battle with this dreadful disease. She is in a better place now.
I would like to thank everyone on this board for accompanying my mom on her journey.
