Tomorrow I have the last step in the initial phase of my treatment as I'll have my first infusion. The immunotherapy drug Keytruda will be administered through an IV, and this procedure will be repeated every 3 weeks. Of all the pieces of this process, this is the one that I have the most apprehension about, and this apprehension is almost exclusively about the side effects. I know generally that the most common side effects are your basic fine print stuff, but given this is a 3 week dose, I'm curious how those side effects will play out. I'm expecting more of an impact initially, then trailing off as the days go by, but we'll see.
