Immunotherapy - will be starting Pembrolizumab soon. Has anyone had this and what side effects might I have?

I've had treatment for Melanoma and will be starting on immunotherapy using Pembrolizumab and was wondering if anyone has gone through this treatment and I would like to know what type of side effects I might experience.

  • Hi Fairman and welcome to the forum.

    Hopefully some of our members who have had this type of immunotherapy will share their experiences with you soon, but in the meantime I hope this information we have about pembrolizumab, including a list of side effects you may experience, will be useful.

    If you have any other questions or concerns about starting your immunotherapy that you'd like to discuss with someone, you can give our cancer nurses a call on 0808 800 4040. Their phone lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and they will do all they can to help.

    We're sending you all our support Fairman and wishing you all the best with your treatment.

    Kind regards,
