  • Hi Tony.  I’ve just finished 15 rounds of Pembro immunotherapy.  I had minimal side effects, just a little tiredness for a couple of days after treatment.  I did initially have a mild allergic reaction to it so I was prescribed hydrocortisone and steroids as an infusion at the time of treatment, plus slowing infusion of the pembro from 30 mins to 1 hour.  Other than that, all good and nothing major to worry about at all.  Good luck.  Let me know how you get on?
