Query Keytruda/pembrolizumab immunotherapy side ef...

Join

I'm wondering if anyone can let me know of any side effects they've had on Keytruda/pembrolizumab?

I had issues receiving my first dose on Friday and was medicated with steroids and antihistamines at the time. Since then I've had breathlessness/cough and asthma like feeling in my chest.

Unfortunately ever since being diagnosed with cancer my immune system has turned into the Hulk and I've developed allergies to all kinds of medications. Its like playing chicken with a pharmacy. If anyone has had this sort of this happen also would be great to hear from them!

Cheers

Carolyn
