Is there anybody out there receiving Pembrolizumab/Pemetrexed on 3 weekly cycle - I would be very interested to learn of any side effects that they might be suffering from. I have received 6 treatments and am now on Maintenance for the next 2 years. The cancer is stable and has not grown/spread over the last 6 months. Thank you

Dear orienteering

Welcome to the forum and hope you receive the information that you are looking for from those who have experienced this.

I have placed a link below from Cancer Research UK on the side effects (which you may already know of, but you may find it useful):

cancerresearchuk.org/about-...

It is encouraging that your cancer is stable and hope you keep well on the combination.

If you wish to discuss anything you can call us on our Freephone nurse led helpline number on 0800 358 7200

All the very best
