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.

    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
