Hi all

I am on Pembrolizumab and have just had my 6th out of  9 infusions.

Side effects wise ... Well it's like Xmas every day .... You get up and wonder what gift it's (pembrolizumab) is going to give you today lol .

To be fair I've been ok ... Fatigue is my main side effect, the day after my infusion I am usually wiped out and then it comes on totally at random but I am still holding down a 40hr working week.

Brain fog is another one but my other half says she doesn't notice the difference to any other day lol.

And a new one that's only came on after infusion 5 is explosive diarrhoea   lol I  get about a 5 min warning ️ lol

But again it's random  once a day  maybe 3 times a week . My consultant is aware and is not concerned as I am coping well, no weight loss and it's not constant .

But on a positive .... I'm NED 

Hi do they give you anything for the diaahoea ..my late Husband had same when he was on Chemo tablets 3rd week of his treatment it would start they gave him capsules to stop it

Hope all goes well with the remainder of your treatmen

Hi yes I got a bag full of anti diarrhea and sickness tablets when I started the Immunotherapy, but as it's random I'm not bothering taking anything xx
