17. I'm on an immunotherapy drug (Keytruda) for endometrial cancer

as well as methotrexate for the rheumatoid arthritis caused by the Keytruda. (Cancer is a bitch, and the side effects from the various treatments also suck!)

My various and sundry docs said to get the vaccine as soon as possible, and I had my second shot last Friday. I had no reaction to the first shot, and perhaps a bit of tiredness from the second. As everyone else has said, it's hard to tell the side effects of the vaccine from all of the other side effects you normally have.

Best of luck to you with the chemo! I've been through two rounds. Remember, if you feel lousy, if your hair falls out, it means the chemo is working!
