Itchiness After Immunotherapy
I was diagnosed with bladder cancer about four months ago at the Rochester Mayo Clinic. I've now had my second amino therapy treatment and have been experiencing extreme itchiness. I'll be calling my doctor today in the hope they will issue a prescription for this, however, I'm wondering if anyone else has had this issue and how they solved it.

Thanks! Me too! Interesting concept. In the UK they are switching from IV to subcutaneous for nivo. https://ecancer.org/en/news/26413-nivolumab-subcutaneous-formulation-given-approval-across-multiple-solid-tumour-types-in-the-uk
Started nivo at home. So far so good. Basically identical to in-clinic except for no advanced pump beeping.
Finished. No significant side effects so far. Little back ache.
Another cause of that cancer is excessively high amounts of fumes from chemicals. I was a hairdresser for 37 years and specialized in color there amongst the top five where are you in a profession where you had high amount of chemical fumes?
Cancer Commons shared this with me today. Early morning immunotherapy is the best, especially for women.
