I'm scheduled to start Libtayo Monday for recurring SCC's in my head and neck area. So far no lymph invasion. I am very anxious/nervous about whether I can tolerate it and if it will work. I'm a very active 75 year old woman and want many more years to enjoy life. I would love to hear more Libtayo stories from users, ie. side effects and results. The counseling today warned of so many bad things they scared me a lot! I am in the best place at Mayo in Jax but its a 2 hr. drive each way so hope it goes smooth. Just finishing up 4 wks of radiation and did 4 weeks last fall in another area. The radiation is the easy part.

Hi , I just finished 3 months of chemo and libtayo for neoadjuvant therapy then had a sinus maxillectomy at Sloane Kettering. They now want me to go on libtayo for 6 months prophylactically even though the cancer is clear. My biggest reaction specifically from cem was skin rashes and itching which can be really bad at times. Not sure also if cem has cumulative side effects?
