Thank you so much for sharing your experience

I read your bio- bloody hell how scary for you I’m so glad there are positives coming your way  wishing you all the best xxxx

Scary… yes! Utterly terrified of what the future holds xx over thinking to the max! X positive head on…. Scans will continue to be clear and I have neatly completed the 9 doses x 

@Amccl was good to read your profile.  I am due to meet oncologist for the first time on Friday at Beatson.  I suspect I will be offered Pembrolizumab

Hi das353

i was also diagnosed at 49. I had 2 primary melanomas on my back that had spread to one node in my armpit. 
at the end of January I completed 9 treatments every 6 weeks of Pembro.

I was quite lucky with few side effects, fatigue and some skin irritation. I didn’t have painful hands I am sorry to hear that and I hope it resolved soon. The skin irritation still troubles me and my oncologist said it could carry on for the rest of this year but it’s a good sign as my immune system is still hyperactive. I hope so.

wishing you all the very best with the rest of your Pembro.
