When my Mom Yerovy 4 days after gamma knife radiation (aka SRS) for brain mets the tumors on her head and neck started "tingling" and became firmer a few days to weeks later. These for her were really good signs. They quickly disappeared and even the blue "vein" are gone.
Hopefully this means its working for you too 🙂

My husband had itchy legs while on ipi. Took Benadryl and used lotion. Slept with nothing on his legs. It was worse at night. He took loradatinre during the day if it was bad. The itching disappeared after a couple of months after the last dose of ipi. He always wore clothes that were not tight and especially not hot. No sweat pants. Hope that helps..

Hi ,
I completed ippi in July this is my longest period 3 months since seeing my consultant always had itchy legs and worse at night. What was worrying me was I've started itching and got a burning feeling at the bottom of my back I have 6 mels under my skin some where round about. Could it be treatment still at the mels or worried it could be they are growing . Will have to ring my nurse just to check see what she thinks. I am away next week going to spain for a break seeing my consultant 5th November so 2 weeks away .
thanks for info means a lot

Sarna lotion works pretty good. I took benadryl at night and then was switched to something prescription. I went through in the winter and I could literally dig the skin off my legs, so yes normal! -

I got a lovely itchy rash a few days after my first ipi treatment. The nurses in the cancer center looked at it and said "Ah, you have the ipi rash." But that rash was almost totally confined to my chest and back.
Since starting Keytruda, I've been itching again, but not as badly, and this time it's almost totally confined to my legs.
