Any one who took or is taking Keytruda has noticeable side affects?
After the first infusion I did not notice side effects. But after my third infusion (Apr 25), I had some noticeable side effects:
Beside fatigue, during the first week after infusion, I had moderate bone (leg) pain and muscle (calf) pain. Starting 2nd week I am having itchy rashes on my chest and back. By looking at the sheet of possible side effects the nurse gave to me, bone pain, muscle pain, rashes and itching all are possible side effects.
