      These are not side effects my wife has experinced in two months Pembro treatments – but they do sound like the symptoms of brain tumor-related issues. You should get your mother to the doc or hospital ASAP.

      Those are neurological symptoms that her oncologist needs to be told about right away so they can order a brain MRI. They are not side effects of treatment.
