Who here is on Keytruda or other checkpoint inhibitor or some kind of immunotherapy?
I have been on
Keytruda
for about 43 infusions now first done every three weeks but every six weeks as of late last year. I am MSI-High with a partial MHL-1 defect. It has definitely helped me but am on a bunch of other stuff including dendritic cell vaccine immunotherapy.

Hoping for some advice
He has fared quite well but unfortunately when he was taking
Keytruda
immunotherapy he developed pneumonitis and had to stop the treatment. He was then given steriods (for the inflammation of the lungs) and has not had any cancer treatment for a year now - apart from scans and blood tests.

Update
He had radiation,
Keytruda
, and zometa all in one day. It whipped his behind. He had fevers for two days at night and in the morning. Made his whole body ache. Zometa is a drug they use to help bones not be brittle due to bone mets.

What next?
She had three rounds of
keytruda
along with two chemos and after her first scan, it showed a good reduction in the tumour and lymph nodes. She then continued with the immunotherapy and just one chemo.

Surprise!
The last infusion of
Keytruda
really stiffened up his elbow. We were pretty worried. We didn’t know if it was the
Keytruda
irritating it or was it all the sudden getting phenomenally worse.

Positive news.
Doctor is now moving him to Maintenance therapy and has prescribed him 6 months of Pemetrexed +
Keytruda
. Of course, uncertainty still exists, but this was the first positive news & sign of relief that we have had since he was diagnosed in August.

Seizure
I attribute that to the
Keytruda
finding the problem and attacking it. So he is stiff and inflamed. Ice and pain medicine are helping today. Radiation is planned for the 21st. We are ready to zap some cancer and hopefully the
Keytruda
will continue to “Chuck Norris” it out of there. Hopeful :).

Olaparib effectiveness and side effects
MSS and low tumor burden rules out
Keytruda
combo, or by itself, as an effective option. PSA had been undetectable for 18 months before rising to 1.11 so far. Had Auximin scan 2 days ago. Just one small spot on lung found.

Cancer treatment with dialysis
The recommendation is that he has
Keytruda
immune therapy every three weeks, how will this work with dialysis, won’t it be removed by the dialysis.

Sharing the good news of my scan results
I am continuing on with
Keytruda
but I will tell you that I also changed my diet. Gave up coffee, dairy, drank warm lemon water every morning and juiced carrots every morning and ate mainly plant based foods.

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!!!
