Hi all
I am on Enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab for bladder cancer and I'm riddled with itchy skin. Has anyone else had this?

Hello Lesley8
I'm sorry to hear that you're struggling with intense itching at the moment. Itching is known to be a side effect of both of the drugs that you've mentioned you're taking but please do talk with your care team about this. There may be topical treatments they can recommend to help manage the itching or they may wish to adjust your medication.
If it would help to chat with one of our nurses, you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. In the meantime, we have some information about dealing with itching on our website that may be helpful.
I do hope that the team can help you get a handle on this difficult side effect soon.
Best wishes,
Jenn
