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,

Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator

Thanks Steph, I know side effects can differ from person to person but I thought maybe somebody who’s been through it could throw up a little insight as to what they personally experienced.

I have my last treatment on 28th 2 yrs on ,side effects vary from person to person and from cycle to cycle. 

My side effects have been mainly  skin irrations and tiredness. 

Odd cycle some stomach cramps and nausea  

But  nothing to stop treatment. 

I have lung cancer has decreased and not spread. 

They can help you with side effects so go of it and best of luck
