@wgv So sorry it's taken me a bit to get back to you with this part of the information; I see Colleen provided you with the support group and hope to see you in a future Zoom call!
fHere is the site that lists potential adverse reactions associated with immunotherapy treatments: https://aimwithimmunotherapy.org/resources-for-your-patients/patient-action-plans/ If you been able to identify the name of the immunotherapy meds you're on, you can go directly to the box that includes that information. Let me know if I can provide further direction with that.
I see you've been feeling fatigued, which I wonder may in part be due to your low red blood cell count, that can be caused by any number of reasons for which you may be treating now. Has your doctor been able to determine that and possibly start any treatment?
@wgv, I can help out. Monthly meetings that @grammato3 refers to are held the second Tuesday of every month from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Central time. Here is the link to sign up for the monthly support group led by a Mayo Clinic social worker, Heidi:
