  • Hi Barrett and welcome to Cancer Chat.

    I hope this information we have about pembrolizumab, which includes a list of common side effects, will help but if you'd like to discuss this further with one of our cancer nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very insightful and will do all they can to answer your questions and give you any other information and/or advice you may be seeking at this time.

    As to whether you will be able to go on holiday after you've finished, it would be best to consult your medical team as they are in the best position to advise on this.

    Hopefully some of our members who have had pembrolizumab as part of their treatment will share their experiences and advice with you soon as well.

    Kind regards,
