Ten year battle is over.
He was able to go to Duke in late August and was approved for
Keytruda
under Merck's open access program. However, that was his last trip; he wasn't able to do the treatment because it required travel to Duke every three weeks.

Opdivo..What do You Know
I read an article recently that
Keytruda
was doing better for certain people but it appears I didn't qualify (not the right markers) for
Keytruda
.

They've now put me on
Keytruda
, and I'm praying for the best. Anyhow, all these treatments have been done by IV for a year now and my veins are shot.

Medicare B not covering Keytruda
Indeed, so far as I can tell,
Keytruda
has never been tested >alone< against PCa, only in combination, so their position is not totally irrational. And there seem to no ongoing trials alone either, so it probaby won't change soon.

Gemzar/Gemcitabine--Any Information?
Hi Friends: Just found out yesterday I don't qualify for
Keytruda
. I have been given two choices. Try another chemotherapy medicine (name above) or accept fact that it is time to say adios. Doctor said it much nicer. I hated last chemotherapy as it ruined my quality of life.

Worried Again
I go to my oncologist this Friday to find out if
Keytruda
will buy me some time. I'm having more trouble breathing due to past radiation treatment having caused thickness with scar tissue in lung and I cough so much. I can't taste anything but sweet food but I still make myself eat.

New diagnosis -76 year old mom
Maybe
Keytruda
and some other immunotherapy? And it does seem like it's "sneaky" from others posts and can move around and every case seems so different. Is there a "typical" treatment? At her age she is probably not going to want to do a lot of radical surgery as she might if she was younger.

Nervous night
Since I last posted doc stopped
keytruda
due to progression of disease. We were devastated. Dr. offered chemo as only last possibility. Said it might buy time. My son decided to do it and has gotten thru 3 cycles surprisingly well.

Keytruda
Just had 4th infusion, cat scan before 5th in 3 weeks. Big difference vs. Chemo/Poison. Some fatigue but nothing in comparison. Hope it works. Another 7 years welcome.

Keytruda/Listeria Trial
Hello everyone. My sister found out that after 3 rounds of her clinical trial, there is disease progression and she has to come off the trial. She is devastated. Not sure what's next. Possibly Doxil. She has an appt with her oncologist to discuss what's next. What a crappy disease! ๐

Dad w/Stage 4 Lung Cancer
He has Non Small Cell and was a candidate for
KEYTRUDA
, an immunotherapy. He had his first treatment on October 2 and we wound up in the ER within 2 hours with what they were saying was the flu. Iโm not buying that because he was fine before the treatment.

Trial with Listeria
She received
Keytruda
this first day and then CR 207-a Listeria based infusion-the second day. She experienced a dull headache day one. Her reaction after the Listeria infusion was a bit worse.
