I have been receiving Pembro for 6 months for stage 3 melonoma. I get very tired after doing even low level activity and I have a very dry mouth, so I have frequent rests and a nap in the afternoon, I also have water handy at all times. When I go out I take a small bottle of water with me, a also use chewing gum, not something I normally do, and find this helps. I also have a rash in some areas. All in all it’s not too bad,just get a bit fed up with it. I had difficult making the decision to have it due to the horrendous side effects we are told can happen but I think they are rare. I believe now it was the right decision. It probably take a few weeks for these side effects will start but you will be lucky if you don’t get any. Besst of luck with it. Let me know how you get on.
Hi. Can I ask, as it affected your legs? My husbands legs feel heavy & can no longer walk outside due to not feeling safe in case he falls. This as started in the last 2 wks & his 3rd pembro is next week

not my legs as such, but I am not quite as stable on my feet as I used to be. Turning and bending also makes me feel slightly dizzy. Normally I walk very well for an 82 year old but I do find I trip or stumble especially on uneven ground. But none of it stops me getting about and I do have to rest frequently. Hope this helps.
