Started immunotherapy maintenance: What side effects can I expect?

Yes it is Merry. My reaction was the same as yours at first but after my wife, a retired RN, and I did a lot of research we decided to give it a try. At that point, what did I have to lose? 12 weeks later I was cancer free and Dr called me a miracle. Maybe it was the Keytruda, maybe it had nothing to do with fenbendazole, maybe a combination, all I can say is something worked for me, I’m grateful and believe I’m alive so I can share my story. I’ve had absolutely no side effects, well just one, tried scratching behind my ear with my foot and threw my back out . lol.

You have to have humor, Dutch; it always helps. When the nurse set my IV on Monday knicked a vein. When she came back after a few minutes, pulled back the heated blanket and saw a lump about the size of a large grape at the injection site she went into full panic mode. You don't want a panicy nurse so I just said "now you can call me Lumpy" and that did the trick. There are times when you just have to do the unexpected and laugh at cancer.

@dutchw- Thank you for being so honest. There have been a lot of people, who have been given solemn news about their cancer journey, have tried alternate medications. And all of us have probably given it some thought, if...One of my favorite doctors did so for her husband. However, Mayo Clinic only supports evidence-based, science supported medical treatments for cancer.
One thing that bothers me is that you haven't told your doctor. Do you have plans to do so?
