Hello all
I am new to the group just had my first Pembro treatment two days ago. I have had auxiliary dissection of large melanoma under my left armpit as well as 25 lymph nodes removed in June this year. Two of the lymph nodes were cancerous so following up with 12 months of Pembro every six weeks.
I have had a large skin colour change under my left Brest it looks like the bottom half of my Brest is orange brown in colour? Like a large bruise. Also feeling tired and a bit sick but other than that no other symptoms
is the skin colour change happened to anyone else?
thank you
Hi like you I have only just started on the same course of pembro.
I received my first dose 2 weeks ago and have had no side effects. Yesterday I felt a bit achy but not sure if this is a side effect or the fact I think I have got a bit of a head cold going on x
hope your skin issue settles itself down xx
