I'm starting immunotherapy by drip on Friday avelumab and tablets daily axitinib have anyone else been on these medications at the same time very nervous 

  • Hi Chester fc, yes I'm on the same medication, don't be nervous, they are not too bad. I'm always given 2 paracetamol before the drip starts and first they give a piriton drip/flush before the avelumab, that normally puts me straight to sleep and wake up done an 1hr later. The axitinib is OK also. I've had a problem with my blood pressure going high but that was a preexisting condition of mine before all this started. The nurses will go through it all with you and if your going through Clatterbridge, you normally get a phone call the day before each treatment to check everything is ok and your feeling ready for your next treatment.  Good luck
