    I have a brother who is currently battling cancer since January 2023 Hodgkin's Lymphoma cancer. He has been through a lot of chemotherapy treatments in the past 2 1/2 years. His oncologist has suggested immunotherapies which I am here to learn about and if my brother and mother has question's about it I can answer them best that I can instead of calling his doctor's all the time. I'm glad to come across this course and able to find out more about immunotherapies.
