Hi,

Diagnosed with Stage 3 melanoma skin cancer April 2024. Have had two moles removed and all lymph nodes under left armpit last July 2024.

Started immunotherapy on Pembro last September every six weeks. Due to finish this September . Last two scans have been clear and next scan due end of September.

Have had the itching and rashes a few months ago which have now gone. Fatigue is the main symptom which appears to have increased over the last three months. Will this improve in time after I have finished treatment next month ?

I used to like keeping active  during the day but find now that after an hour of walking the dog or cutting grass or cleaning the car I have to rest as I feel totally wiped out.

Would be grateful for any replies- Thank You

    I wanted to send a reply to your post to give it a little boost, so a few more people should see it and hopefully you'll get more replies - particularly if others with similar experience see it.

    It would be good to discuss your question with your doctor when you can, as they will be best placed to advise.

    You are also welcome to speak to our nurses if you'd like to talk things through. You can do this either by posting in the 'Ask the Nurses' section of this forum, or by calling freephone 0808 800 4040 - Monday-Friday, 9-5.

    I hope that the forum can be useful for you.
