Keytruda 1 Year !!

Alright I’m 1-yr with undetectable PSA after starting Keytruda and pretty much feel back to normal. Bone mets are healing based on nuc-med bone showing that uptake is notably decreased. I can say I got this dragon on the rails!!!

ROCK ON!!! Hope you have plenty of wonderful *ONE YEAR AT A TIME* reports.

Oh hell yes! Great to read a total success story.

Ride those rails brother! Keep rolling! ✌️

Wonderful encouraging news. Keytruda has been mentioned to me by my oncologist as a possible treatment option. Although I am MSS, not MSI, and BRCA2+. Stay tuned.

Sounds like no bad side effects, too, you are so lucky to have found your perfect medicine. My hubby will join the new club next week.

Stay healthy and enjoy life.

Fantastic, congratulation! Glad to hear Keytruda success in PCa. Do you have any specific mutations?

I'm 5th month of Keytruda + Lynparza, got a lot of side-effects but hanging on so far. Considering for the condition developed median survival time was called 16 weeks. As I'm about to make 21st week I hope start counting in years eventually :)

I was Micro-satellite instability high

Hello Chugach,I’m ecstatic to hear Keytruda is working for you. My dad will have his second infusion Monday. It’s too early to say if it will work for him. He is dealing with loss of appetite, fatigue and bone pain. If you don’t mind me asking.......how many bone Mets do you have? He has quite a few throughout spine and sternum. Sure am hoping Keytruda will lessen the burden.

I have 8 or 9 mets (ribs, spine, eye socket, hip socket) one was pretty advanced and caused my rib to break. But every thing is healing. I wish your father the same success! I didn’t have any side effects- perhaps that is something else? Stay Strong!

my husband is over 1 and half years too undetectable psa after 2 keytruda treatments 2 years ago. He has msh2 mutation found during testing at mskcc nyc. Nothing was working before this,chemo zytiga, tumors kept growing..stage 4 gleason 10. Now tumors have shrunk or stayed the same. Miracle...happy to hear for you too
