When to consider Keytruda as not working?
Is there any hope left with
keytruda
? Any alternatives or is this the end?

Has anyone had success with Keytruda and then stopped treatment?
They then switched me to
Keytruda
, which I have been on for almost 2 years. I have been in remission for 15 months now. The Dr. doesn't want to stop treatment, because they don't know what will happen if the cancer returns. Anyone with experience in this situation?

I think ZYTIGA has stopped working
Keytruda
? Apalutimide? Any suggestions would be welcome. Phone call to Med Onc suggested waiting until I am at 0.2 and then have a Ga-68 PSMA PET scan to pinpoint any areas of concern.

OS - Overall Survival, Implications
Recently I posted a reply about a pembrolizumab (
Keytruda
) Trial that showed only a small 3-6% of patients had a "response", and then noted OS was less than 10 months. It occurs to me that my attitude in that post was stupid and un-generous. For that I now apologize.

Lost the Battle
He was accepted into receiving
Keytruda
but was too weak. He had three cystoscopies between December 2018 and June 2019 to stop the bleeding but they didn’t help. I am beyond sad and heartbroken that he is gone. He suffered so much.

Keytruda dosage and duration of treatment
Any advice related to
keytruda
maintenance plan would be great. Insurance does not cover the expenses on
Keytruda
in Georgia and its getting harder for my dad. Thanks

Would Carboplatin help with liver mets that are not neuroendocrine?
Started
keytruda
a couple weeks ago since prostate biopsy showed MSI-H. Recently got a liver biopsy that showed prostate adenocarcinoma. He is now jaundiced with bilirubin at 10 and trending up. I’m fearing that his liver will fail before
keytruda
even has a chance to work (if it even will work).

Pembrolizumab/Keytruda severe side effect
I have NSCLC - I'd felt very optimistic after my first treatment in September ....10 days later, I noticed that where I'd had a rasping noise in my throat for a few months, it had gone, and the following week, noticed that my breathing was improved and needed less ventolin etc to keep the airways open

Piqray
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.

Sadly, TIL Trial has ended for my husband
Our VCU doc did mention NIVO as a possibility, but Wayne has already had
Keytruda
and Yervoy, and TIL as immunotherapies, so the doc will need to explain to me what the last immunotherapy has that the others have not.

Oncologist gave bad news about the cancer
The oncologist is recommending to stop Jevtana and try
Keytruda
since he has the gene mutation. Liver spots were never biopsied. He says given the high PSA he does not believe it can be neuroendocrine which doesn't produce PSA. He gave a prognosis of weeks if the cancer progresses as is.
