Symptoms after pembrolizumab

Hi Chicks1971, you must be feeling a bit confused with all those symptoms. I have been off Pembro since Feb so missed the April and May dose, I haven’t had anything similar just the lifting of the feeling of fatigue. I don’t know what to say, I think I’d be tempted to ring my hospital team to just chat to them, or if you weren’t sure on doing that try the Macmillan support line to sound them out about what’s happening, delayed side effects? anxiety reaction ? Withdrawal symptoms? (Not heard anyone mention that one before), are these the sort of things running through your head. It does say side effects can happen up to months afterwards, and there will be a residual dose in your body months after.

I’m sorry I can’t help but would be intrigued to hear what happens next.
