    Hi All,

    I have been struggling with some adverse reactions to pembro and had to stop my infusions.  I got some good advice from Celeste and also found this site which is being updated all the time and has lots of fairly easy to read information. Hope I am clever enough to attach the link…

    My irAE's are pretty severe so it's interesting to see that they recommened going in hard early with steroids or other immune suppressors to prevent more severe toxicity later.
