Immunotherapy Scheduling

Posted by Susan, Volunteer Mentor @grammato3, Dec 5, 2024

I am totally new to Keytruda infusions, having only had one a week ago. I was under the impression I'd be routinely scheduled for these infusions every three weeks - on the same day of the week - but to date I've not gotten any information about my next one which ought to be in two weeks on a Wednesday. I've called scheduling twice but have not yet received notification. Is it common to not get notification of the date/time until a few days beforehand?

I always get my new appointment before I leave from getting my treatment.

@songinmyheart54 I eventually had been, too, before my oncologist had to suspend infusions. Due to the colitis I developed I’m now waiting for approval for another infusion, now aimed at my GI tract, Entyvio.
