is there anyone here who has or having immunotherapy? If so how is it ?

  • Hi Nannystan. I had my 2nd I fusion on Monday. I have not been two bad. My main symptom is loss of appetite, and nausea. I have been given medication for the nausea. I am on Ipilimumab and Nivolumab. I am having 4 sessions of both every 3 weeks and then it drops down to one drug. Do you know which ones you will be having and when do you start?

    Keep in touch with your journey

  • Hi, thank you for your reply. It is my partner that has melanoma he has just had 2 lymph nodes removed and WLE. Confirmed cancer in 1 lymph node and hopefully find out next wk regarding next treatment. Immunotherapy was mentioned. So all a rollercoaster at the mo. 

  • This has answered the question I'm looking for .I have just had my first dose of pembro ( 4 hours ago ) and wanted to know what to expect in the next couple of days. Had the talk on the " what could happen " but feeling a little apprehensive about the next few days ?? Thanks 

  • I have now had 3 doses with no real side effects. I feel my hair has thinned a little and the odd tired day that has been it. Due dose 4 just after Xmas x please take care x 

  • Thank you for the reassurance x
