I am new to this section. I have been involved with the lung cancer. I had lung surgery 6 years ago. Last summer I was diagnosed with colon cancer. I had surgery, then chemo. Just 3 months after finishing, my cea levels went up. A scan revealed involvement of 3 lymph nodes. I was started on Keytruda and have had s remarkable turn around within a couple months. Even though my dr has said it was miraculous, she talks very discouraging about my future. She says stuff like, you know this will stop working, etc. No one knows my future, but want to stay hopeful for future treatments!
