I am looking at Cimiplimab, an immunotherapy for metastatic SCC skin cancer and wondering if any others are undergoing this treatment, side effects, success, etc.
I had my first infusion at Mayo on 1/8. Hopefully will get things set up to follow up with treatment at home in Ohio this week. No real side effects at this time but a fuzzy head like chemo can cause. Might be secondary to my exhaustion and stress though. My husband had a TURP the day before for a spot in his bladder. He has urothelial cell carcinoma and has had a partial bladder resection. Lots of reason to stress around our house.

Hi Sue, I'm tagging @gaybinator is the hopes that she will return to share her husband's experience with Libtayo (cemiplimab).
@sepdvm, when will you start treatment?
