Just thought I’d add my latest story. So I had my first Keytruda infusion then a week later noticed that although I’ve been a bit breathless for about three weeks it had got worse. Called the hotline to the Marsden and 12 days later I came home! They said I had a lung infection and tried two generic Antibiotics and finally microbiology said they found a bug and I was treat with a further five days IV antibiotic. Meanwhile the lung specialist cane to me and said he want to do a bronchoscopy but flushing out my lung. This was scheduled at Epsom hospital, day patient procedure but no. I had a bad reaction and they decided to keep me in. Once I’d eaten and had a drink a felt fine. I was in the azure medical unit surrounded by ppl with all kinds of infections. The consultant had said I should have bloods done and an IV antibiotic. When by ten o’clock I’d had neither I insisted on going home as I felt I was more likely to get infections there than at home. My blood pressure had settled, I had no temperature and my saturation levels were good. They insisted I sign to say I was leaving against there wishes. I’ve now been home 24hours and feel fine. I have antibiotics I’m taking at home as per the Royal Marsden and apart from some fluid left in my lung I’m good. They’ve delayed my 2nd immunotherapy infusion by two weeks as they wanted me fit. Fingers crossed for that and possible pleura drain next week xx
