Pembrolizumab

  • Hi

I unfortunately have lung cancer that has spread from my bladder so I was having treatment with pembrolizumab .

My schedule was pembrolizumab with enfortumab vedotin on day 1 then I thought I was going to have a break from pembrolizumab for 6 weeks but still have the enfortumab vedotin, I was wrong , I was having both on every treatment day and by my 3rd treatment day I was violently ill. 

I looked up this  pembrolizumab and found out that you should only have it either once every 3 weeks or every 6 weeks but my schedule was to have it 3 times in one mouth, I found it that if I had carried on I would have died from overdose of pembrolizumab. I'm so angry that they had got this so wrong, my oncologist could not explain why it was every treatment day either.
