What to expect with EVP (Enfortumab Vedotin and Pembrolizumab)?

Has anyone in group received EVP chemo? If yes what can I expect after treatment.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Bladder Cancer Support Group.

I am on cycle 5 of EV/pem, side effects are more tolerable than cis/gem that’s for sure! Loss of taste, itchy skin and my eyes are very watery, I’ve lost my eyelashes and my hair has thinned. I also feel like I have chemo brain at times, anyone else?

@katiw my 12 months of keytruda and Padcev rendered the classic side effects others have described. All subsided except neuropathy and after 1 year off still mild neuropathy. I over reacted to keytruda with rhinitis, pneumonitis and now constant cystitis, but in complete remission of cancer. Working on the cystitis and last resort would be bladder removal.due to symptoms and lifestyle limitations of urgency. The cancer treatment combo is a lifesaver if you can tolerate the side effects. Have faith as we have all been thru what you describe.. BTW, my hair came back thicker than before treatment.
