Has any one been on pembrolizumab

I had almost all the possible adverse reactions. After first infusion I had high blood pressure, got tablets for control it. After the second infusion my thyroid stopped working, I got tablets to control it. Later I had pneumonitis four times, I got high dosage steroid treatments four times. Last week my doctor stopped pembro because of my lung is too sensitive. And I also have minor side effects. These are the negative things.

BUT despite all this suffering, my CT scan showed that all my metastasis shrank or disappeared :)

Recently I have only lenvatinib tablets and waiting my lung become healthy again, then we continue pembro.

I am very happy that I got this treatment. Everyone tolerate it in different way.

Hi
