Pembrolizimab/Keytruda

I used Braff then yervoy then Keytruda 

i had huge autoimmune reactions including nearly losing my sight

i am still swollen terribly and ache all over from prednisone 

i wondered if anyone else experienced reactions as the jury is still out on whether the effects get worse

thank u

Hi @debjdavis,

 

Hoping you're well today Heart

 

Just bumping this up for you!

 

Has anyone else had experience with taking any of the above or know of any side effects associated with them?

Take care. I ache all the time and have had so much suffering if it wasn't for my children I would want to go
