Immunotherapy and hyperthyroidism
Hi everyone, Wanted to find out if anyone has experienced hyperthyroidism as an side effect for chemo or immunotherapy ,
Keytruda
specifically. What happens during this time? Shall we stop immunotherapy and treat for that or my dad can continue chemo/immuno and treat for hyperthyroidism too?

Small progression of lepto whilst on keytuda, advice and treatment options
The main consultant was away but the consensus at the moment was to continue with
Keytruda
as it is controlling the main tumour very well and is reducing the liver.

Melanoma radiation for shoulder planned
We are feeling grateful to have plans in place to move forward since more immunotherapy is not available (He's had 42 treatments of
Keytruda
and 3 of Yervoy). Since he is Wild type the BRAF specialist in Columbia recommended none of those meds for my husband.

Oncologist informed me the treatment appears to be working so we carry on with more
Keytruda
. Thank God would not have known how to tell my daughters before Christmas if it had gone the other way. A CT Scan in January to clarify better.

No side effects?
He got carboplatin, alimta, and
keytruda
. The thing is that I don't know what amounts of these drugs were given. He's not having any side effects so far and that got me to thinking that perhaps they gave him a small amount.

Surprised!
But in the same call; she told us that she had consulted with a doctor at Hopkins, and agreed to get him a PET scan earlier than 3 months, and if it shows what they believe it shows (him responding well) then they might want to start him on
Keytruda
and stop the Taf/mek so they can put it in their pocket

Clinical trial Xtandi and Keytruda
Xtandi plus infusion of
Keytruda
every 3 weeks for 2 years. Has anyone heard of this? Scary side effects from
Keytruda
it seems, but makes sense to boost immune system to fight. PSA now up to 8.7, has been on Zytiga for 3 years with great result now failing.

Do severe air born allergies affect treatment?
He had
Keytruda
and chemo for a few months, which did nothing. He was then put on Opdivo and did well, even becoming stable.

When to stop the chemo?
She decided to add immunotherapy
Keytruda
now and continue with the same chemo for additional 4 cycles. I wanted to find out is there an end for the chemo? When do doctors decide when to stop the chemo fully? I would assume lung cancer does not dissapear, does it?

Oligometastisis consultation
Had 42 rounds of
Keytruda
, then watchful waiting, then 3 rounds of Yervoy, which toasted his GI tract. He had an infusion of Remicade (usually used to treat Crohn's Disease) last week to try to get his gut healed up.

Keytruda
If he starts the treatment with
KEYTRUDA
, i dont want his situation to deteriorate. Is there any other immunotherapy medicine that is better? Can anyone share experience please. Thanks.

Clinical Trial- Navarixin + Keytruda
Is anyone in the forum doing the trial with Navarixin and
Keytruda
? If so, I am very interested in how it is going. My husband is about to get his third
Keytruda
infusion. His side affects have been horrible on this trial.

Immunotherapy drug that worked for me
I think the biggest difference with this drug and opdivo and
keytruda
is that Imfinzi is only for NSCLC that has NOT spread outside the lungs. I’m pretty sure opdivo and
keytruda
are specifically for LC that HAS spread. At least now there’s an option for both.

Disease progressed
Keytruda
5. Lu 177 Doctor's opinion is to go with Enzulatumide since : - Cabazitaxel will cause too much toxicity -
Keytruda
and Lu 177 are very costly - Xofigo isn't available in India Please provide your valuable opinion

Plenty of options!
So basically, in 4 weeks, I think he should add the following to his olaparib - Lupron,
Keytruda
and xofigo. Is anyone else out there doing all of these?

Possible spine mets - now what??
His oncologist wanted to see him 2 weeks after his last radiation appt but now if he starts radiation to spine, does this mean my dad just continues to sit with NO chemo or
Keytruda
treatment!?? I tried to get in touch with his oncologist at Moffitt today. No return phone call on it.
