My Dad had his 1st dose of immunotherapy on Wednesday and has been taking morphine as he is in quite a lot of pain. He seems to be getting a lot of side effects to the immunotherapy. Bleeding gums,really sore throat,itchy skin and major fatigue. He seems to be sleeping a lot,but I guess the morphine will be making him sleepy. Are these all common side effects? He has a really bad tummy at the moment and is constipated.
