It’s been two years since I had my bladder and prostate removed. This week I will have my 35th and LAST session of immunotherapy (Keytruda). I have been cancer free for a year and a half. I will have blood tests every six weeks and CAT scans every four months for an undetermined time. The immunotherapy seemed to work for me.

Yes, I also keep going and think positive. I had my bladder and prostate removed almost 3 years ago. Had 15 months of chemo before starting Keytruda in Nov. 2017. My scans last July were "clean" and Dr. considers me in remission. Continuing Keytruda indefinitely and am currently on a schedule for repeat scans every 4 months. So far, I'm doing great!
