I posted awhile ago but did not hear from anyone.  Start my immotherapy on the 27th for a year every two weeks.  I was wondering who went through this and the results you got.  ANYONE?

  • Hi, pupsgalore,

    Do you know which immunotherapy you will be receiving ?

    I started my immunotherapy on the 28th of April on pembrolizumab. But I was also put on targeted therapy of Lenvatinib. The Lenvatinib has been very hit and miss due to issues with blood pressure and now headaches so not on it at present.

    So as far as the pembrolizumab is concerned I have had no major issues. A bit more tired than usual. I also suffered from nausea but found that drinking ginger tea helped with this and now have no nausea at all. I am on a 6 weekly cycle intravenously and all is fine.

    Hope this helps.

  • I was on ipilimumab and nivolumab  between Jan 2022 and June 2044.  Stage 4 spread to the lungs.  I was fortunate to have very good results and niggly side effects.  This wasn't after a nephrectomy.
