I have just had my first dose of Tacentriq and was wondering if anyone else has had this and have they had any side effects. Thanks Alison

Dear Alison

I hope your treatment goes well and have placed this link from cancer research UK on the possible side effects of Tacentriq and the management of this:

cancerresearchuk.org/about-...

It is worth noting that not everyone has side effects and these can vary greatly in duration and occurrence. It is advisable to keep in contact with your specialist nurse, or contact the Immunotherapy team if you do develop any symptoms so they can be assessed and managed early.

I hope you receive a reply on the forum from someone who can share their experience of Tacentriq which may help and reassure you.

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

Kind regards

The Roy Castle Support Team
