Starting immunotherapy Keytruda

Hi abob,
My husband had three doses but he was having bad symptoms from the beginning. Keytruda was a new expensive drug at that time so the doctors were pushing it. We trusted their recommendations but my husband regretted it when he became so sick and almost died. He got down to 120 lbs. and couldn't hardly eat anything! Plus he felt terrible. It was awful! But getting to the right specialist and getting correct medication for Pancreatitis and lots of prayers, he recovered.

When my husband was diagnosed with lung cancer, he was only expected to live 5 years. However, he lived 14 years thanks to a lot of prayers, good food including good quality red meat and a quiet life style; staying away from crowds. Also he did not have chemotherapy or Keytruda.

I'll say a prayer for your husband. I hope he does well.

Thanks so much for your reply. I am very sorry for your loss, but I’m glad you and he had 14 years with no treatments. I hope my husband will continue to manage his treatments so that he reaches the magic 5 year mark. It’s not even been 1 full year yet and he’s/we’ve been through so much.
