      hi all

      my father has had persistant pain in his leg and sometimes back during his course of pembro – it has only recently started to get worse the last few days. He is due to get MRI scan tomorrow to see if cancer has spread to bones or get a bettter idea of the pain. 

      anyone had any experience of pembro causing severe muscle pain?

      he has really bad fatigue as well and has had three doses of pembro, due another one on friday 

      thanks so much

          I have had 8 doses of Pembro.  After about dose 3 I too had annoying pain in my leg, I also have the fatigue.  In fact, as I sit typing this my leg pain wanted me to know it is still my faithful companion.  The scans didn't show anything in the hip or leg region, it is always just my right leg, never my left.  Bizarre.  I don't know if this vague description helps or not. 

          Good luck,

          Allyson
