Different for everyone, I've had different a)ffects after each treatment. Fevers and extreme fatigue at first, they got better (still always tired tho). Horrible itching after another, got better. Joint pain aftwr another. Lung damage unfortunately. I think it all depends on extent and location of disease, how strong your system is to begin with, and then add in all the little quirks of being individuals!
ipi is bad........opvido for me is benign and i have been taking it for 2-1/2 years....
ipi murdered my pituitary gland , evidentially an important organ...
Hi Betty,
It depends on which immunotherapy you're taking. Each therapy brings different side effects. It also helps to know if you are Braf positive or negative.
Hi Betty. Fatigue and weight loss can be a sign of melanoma, other cancers as well but seems to be more common and drastic in melanoma. I started to experience fatigue and weight loss 1-2+ years before my diagnosis. I was diagnosed late. Thought it was from overwork and needed to lose weight, so ignored symptoms.
My fatigue and weight loss increased during treatment with Keytruda. We are all individuals and have different side effects. Be good to yourself
Hi Betty, it's hard to tell for sure, but yes it might. On those days that you are really tired, you have to surrender and just rest more.
