I have cervical cancer Stage IV 3b. I just began Keytruda, drug for immunotherapy. I am having significant side effects; fever, fatigue, bone/muscle pain and constipation. Has anyone experienced side effects with Keytruda?
Hi Pookiekona
I don’t have any experience or knowledge of Keytruda. I’m wondering if you would qualify for the the ‘living with advanced cervical cancer’ section of the forum where I think there will be ladies with experience of immunotherapy treatments:

Also worth typing in ‘keytruda’ on the search option - top right.

Hi
I’m in the advanced cervical cancer group I haven’t had Keytruda myself, but there are a few women in the group that are going through it or have been through it, that can give you more information.

Hey, sorry for the late response. How’s your treatment going? I was on Keytruda for just over a year. Compared to chemo side effects were minimal for me although it did effect my thyroid and I had a really dry mouth!
HI Pookiekona1,
I am at stage 4. I just finished 6 cycles of Taxol, Caroplatin, Avastin& Keytruda with a little of side effects. Now awaiting for result of the PET CT-Scan.
