Piqray

Good morning All Happy Thursday. So I met with my oncologist yesterday and according to him Piqray is a sort of a chemo drug It is a immunotherapy drug similar to Keytruda works with your immune system to fight and kill the cancer cells. There are a lot of nasty side effects (not saying I will have them all) but it does have me a little nervous. My husband passed away a little over a year ago with stage 4 lung cancer and he was treated with Keytruda that didn’t work for him but I know that our battle with cancer is our own individual battle. I don’t start the treatment until next week so I will let everyone know how it goes. He did tell me that they have a 92 yr old lady that is on Piqray and she is doing great. Time will tell Have a Blessed day and stay strong

Wish you the best on it. I am going for the test next week to see if u have mutation. In the meantime starting xeloda next week. Because of all the complications I have had dr agreed to 7 days on 7 days off. It was too close a call with the ibrance reaction.
