Pembrolizumab for breast cancer

Hi all,

i have just completed 6 months of neoadjuvant chemo and immunotherapy and will be having surgery in January for my high risk early stage TNBC.

I have found the therapy quite difficult and had my ups and downs. Just wondering if anyone has had Pembro by itself before and whether the side effects are much the same as when in combination with chemotherapy?

i know everyone is different but I am so so hopeful that I will feel better in the coming 6 months than I have for the past 6. Looking for any kind of lifeline I guess!

if anyone has any experiences to share, I’d appreciate it. Thanks 🙂
