keytruda side effects
hello community, I've had 4
Pembrolizumab
infusions now, every 6 weeks. Scans last week showed a reduction in the size of the tumors. However, I am getting bumps that itch all over my body. Has anyone experienced this,and how long did it last?

Genomic testing of the primary tumor, or a metastasis? What Gens or ARN or what is to be tested ?
Pembrolizumab
, Olaparib, whatever I have read about TILs, and wonder if anywhere it is available, as if I am biopsied, there will be samples to work with, eventually. Is there a list of Genes, ADN, whatever, that is mandatory to be tested ?

Weekly Taxol with or without Immunotherapy trial
It's for 2-4 years and involves weekly Taxol with
Pembrolizumab
, also known as Keytruda, or placebo, 6 weekly. My other option is weekly taxol and, if it works after 24 weeks, go on to Keytruda to see what happens.

As for safety, treatment with BXCL701 plus
pembrolizumab
showed acceptable tolerability. There was no evidence of increased immune-related adverse events compared with historic controls with checkpoint inhibitors.

Anyone been on Keytruda for PCa?
Good folks, Due to my veins not being visible enough for Provenge, my MO is recommending 6 infusions of Keytruda (
pembrolizumab
) one every other week. Has any of you done this and what was the experience like.
