| How Long Should Someone Receive Immunotherapy?
A two (2) year period is adequate to assess the success of treatment. If high doses of treatment have been achieved, one should notice a significant improvement in symptoms. Most patients notice significant improvement after the first 6 months.
At year 4 or 5, a trial of discontinuing treatment should be attempted. After immunotherapy is stopped symptoms may return at a rate of 5% in the first (1st) year, 10% in the second (2nd) year and up to 35% in the third (3rd) to fifth (5th) years.
