Immunotherapy Pembro

Hi, has anyone had this treatment foe BC. I have been told I will start immunotherapy with chemo at the end of the month but am a little worried about it.  Thanks

  • Hello Bhoobhoo

    I'm sorry to hear that you've been diagnosed with breast cancer and that you're due to start immunotherapy and chemotherapy at the end of the month. It's understandable that you may be feeling anxious about this. 

    I presume from your post that the type of immunotherapy you've been told you'll be having is pembrolizumab? It also goes by the name Keytruda and you can read more about this treatment on our website. 

    I know that we have previously had members mention that they have had this drug and I'd suggest using the forum search function at the top of the page to look for the terms pembrolizumab and Keytruda. You should find a number of posts where it has been mentioned that you can read through. 

    If you'd like to talk things through with one of our nurses you can call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. I know they will be happy to offer any advice, information and support they can. 

    I hope things progress well for you Bhoobhoo. Keep in touch and let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
