  • Hi and thanks for the post

    Hopefully some people will post responses ,though you may find that if you post on another part of the forum as well as the type of cancer you are having it for and it's better known name  pembrolizumab, that more people may reply. 

    Do bear in mind that everyone's experiences will be different ,so though hard, try and not compare too much or assume that you will have similar side effects. It's ultimately going to be a case of waiting to see how you get on with it- no one will be able to say how things will turn out side effects wise until you start. You can always stop at any time though, if you feel it's too much, though many people say it's 'doable' , and many say there will also be good and bad days. 

    Please do give us a ring if you would like to have a chat about any of this - the number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    I hope things go well  for you

    All the best
