Hi I’m just wondering if anyone has experienced gastritis when on immunotherapy treatment for endometrial cancer. I have been struggling with nausea, no appetite and not eating much at all for over 4 weeks now. I had an endoscopy last week which showed inflammation and since been on anti sickness and omeprazole. Still feeling no better and struggling to get answers from my oncology team about whether this could be a side effect of dostarlimab ( the immunotherapy). Would appreciate hearing of anyone else who may have experienced similar.

Hello Fiona
I am sorry to hear that you are having these side effects from the dostalimab, in particular the stomach effects.
I hope that the anti nausea medication and omeprazole help- it sounds really uncomfortable.
You could give the Support Line a call and ask one of the nurses about whether it is one of the expected side effects. The number is below.
I will also pop a couple of links below with some info that may help.
Dostarlimab (Jemperli®) | Macmillan Cancer Support
I wish you well with your continued treatment.
