keytruda is an immune therapy treatment, it works with the immune system as opposed to chemo which works against it. He is feeling so much better thank goodness, I'm sure the steroids are giving him a lift. the medical profession has had great results from keytruda treating melanoma and some other cancers, lung cancer and apparently it is very effective with breast cancer too.
