I'm glad it was caught early!
I don't have cancer, but for the Crohn's disease I was diagnosed with late last year I got monthly infusions of a monoclonal antibody infusion. I was very freaked out about it, very worried about side effects. I have basically none.
My understanding is nothing is worse than chemo. I would totally take a monoclonal antibody treatment over chemo. But if I ever do get cancer, I will be ineligible for immunotherapy treatments because apparently having an autoimmune disease (Crohn's) disqualifies one. I am glad you have the option of the infusions, as scary as they are. Chemo is a much blunter poison.
