Immunotherapy- pembrolizumab side effects

Hi Hoachie and welcome to the group, but sorry you find yourself here.

I am sorry I have not had Pembrolizumab, but I have found the information and support page on Pembrolizumab and it lists the side effects. I'll put the link HERE for you. 

I think maybe you should mention this to your oncology team, it sounds like you need some pain relief.

Take care

Hi Hoachie

I have been taking Pembrolizumab since January 2020, so just over a year. I too experience the symptoms you are describing, especially muscle weakness affecting mobility. These can be side effects of immunotherapy but you should discuss them with your oncology team.  I had upper left lobe removed  2019 and suffer from nerve damage so I take gabapentin, which helps.  You could discuss pain relief with your team.
