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,

    You've already received some really helpful replies to your question. I just wanted to add that, should you not be aware, there is a great information resource at the MelanomaFocus website and they have a dedicated nurses helpline for any questions you may have. There is also the Melanoma Patient's Conference (posted at the top of this forum) which is a brilliant place to attend, listen to presentations about treatment etc & to meet fellow patients.

    I have sent you a friend request in case you want to chat by private message - I have lots of information & experience, gained over the years of being a Stage 3 melanoma patient. Meanwhile, good luck with your Pembro treatment, I hope it goes well.

    Angie (Stage 3 melanoma patient since 2009)

  • Thanks AngieT, I'll check out the information resources you mentioned as I'm grateful for any info at this stage of the journey, especially from people who've been through it.
