Navigating Stage 4 Gastric Cancer and finding Hope in immunotherapy

Frank Blandon, a 37-year-old software developer from Nicaragua, was initially misdiagnosed with testicular cancer after experiencing unusual symptoms. Following multiple rounds of chemotherapy, further tests revealed his true diagnosis: stage 4 gastric cancer. Transitioning to gastric cancer treatment, Frank began immunotherapy based on his high tumor mutation burden. Despite the challenges, Frank remains resilient and hopeful, envisioning a future where gastric cancer can be managed as a chronic condition. He reflects on the importance of support, the need for earlier detection, and his wish for more treatment options for future patients diagnosed with this aggressive disease.

"Where there's hope, there's life."
