Constant nausea and near daily vomiting.
I’m currently on
Keytruda
and Erleada both are relatively new after failing Jevtana. It could be the
Keytruda
kicking my immune system into high gear but could use some advice, I do use ondanstron to help but I still have nausea.

Keytruda has been started!
So on Friday I started my first infusion of
Keytruda
, I have a tumor burden or 34.2% which my MO said is one of the highest he’s seen. So it seems it will take 3-5 infusions to see if it’s working so the wait and see has started. I feel good about the treatment and hope for good results.

Decision needed
He would either get just the AMG 160 or AMG 160 with
Keytruda
(pembrolizumab.) I’ve heard of pretty severe side effects from AMG 160. Also, it involves hospitalization three times in the first month. But I’m also very enthusiastic about immuno therapy‘s as a treatment for cancer.

Update on elbow
Ryan got his infusion of
Keytruda
yesterday and his oncology team came over and checked out the elbow - they ordered a STAT x Ray to rule out fracture. Impression stated there was no fracture but his “fat pad” of his elbow was significantly swollen.

Anyone having success with Ketruda and how are side effects?
After we finished chemo we did another genetic test that looks like
Keytruda
is and option especially since my overall tumor burden was 34%. Any input would be helpful.

What is MSI?
The MSI test is used to determine whether
Keytruda
has a good chance of helping, or whether treating a patient with
Keytruda
would likely just waste time and add side effects without smacking down the cancer.

Keytruda update
Currently on Lupron and
keytruda
. A second Foundation One DNA test showed high mutational burden with mmr 2 and 6, cdk 12 and pten loss. As a result his MO started him on
keytruda
. After first infusion PSA went from 37 to 105. ALP dropped 50 points.

Clinical Trial searches
We went on our rounds of second opinions once again and ended up following the advice of our MD Anderson physician to try a marketed therapy - TVEK plus
Keytruda
. My son has had three doses and the tumor is visibly smaller.

Understanding the Abscopal Effect and its Potential Role in Developing a Cure for Cancer-Part 1
This treatment can be a combination of a check point inhibitor like
Keytruda
, Yervoy, etc. with or w/o radiation or cryotherapy as well as possibly an infusion of an immune stimulator like GM-CSF or radiation therapy alone.

Update on PROMPT trial
After 3 infusions Pembrolizamab (
Keytruda
) my scan has not shown any improvement anywhere so I have been taken off the trial. I am expecting to be put back on Chemo but for now, I’m enjoying a break from it all. Gilly x

And there is better news for the company with a nemvaleukin/
