Keytruda causing eye side effects

I'm on Keytruda 6-week infusions for a recurrence I sometimes experience a bit of blurry vision told to use drops for dry eyes. I have another question have you seen an increase in your CA125 after starting Keytruda?

Yes, I was on Keytruda and my ca-125 jumped a couple hundred points then went down.
This also happened when I was on carboplatin, taxol 4 years ago. The oncologist never told me my 125 could go up, let alone several hundred points before starting to fall.
It scared the heck out of me!!!!

Hi @tbkomparda - I'm sorry I can't answer your question. The day I started chemo/Keytruda my CA125 was 9.5. Because that level is pretty low, I've never bothered to ask about it since. In fact, all my blood counts have been very good thru-out infusions.
It seems so weird to me that technically I am darn sick (multiple lung metastases), yet weeks 2 and 3 of my chemo cycle I feel like a normal healthy human being. Cancer is a strange beast.
