Cemiplimab for Squamous Cell Carcinoma "I'm alive today because of Libtayo. It truly has been a wonder drug for me. It brought me back from death's door when I was in hospice with leptomeningeal disease from squamous cell carcinoma. My cancer was virtually eliminated at the time. Two years later, I am practicing law again, living life and loving every minute. I'm back on Libtayo as the cancer has flared up in my spine, but I have no side effects except some moderate fatigue. I'm sorry for people who get skin rashes and other problems, but my experience is wonderful. I was the first Mayo Jacksonville patient to receive the drug (right after FDA approval), and it has far surpassed its expectations. The nurses and doctors here speak of the drug very highly."

Cemiplimab for Squamous Cell Carcinoma "Overall, I felt good, except for the terrible itching that started on my back, then my sides, then my legs, then my head. I tried everything the doctor prescribed and a dozen creams and powders, they only work temporarily, an hour or so. Then my itching has turned into several sores, large, rash-like, and painful. I wish I knew what would help me with this. I want to keep the treatment going as it's working on my CSCC and NSCLC. I have been on therapy for 8 months. I have 4 months to go. Pray for me. Thank you."

Cemiplimab for Squamous Cell Carcinoma "Had one treatment, and after 3 days I got a headache, diarrhea, rash, chills, felt weak, and ended up in the hospital for 3 days. I am now on prednisone to combat the rash, and it has been 2 weeks and has not improved. Got off of Libtayo because of severe side effects. Now have to seek further treatment for side effects. Cancer has moved to the back burner. Very frustrating."
