Been on keytruda (1 bag every 21 days). Anyone quit Keytruda and on something else?

@hardtailsmsncom1, I'm tagging fellow members @rjlpool502 @moose63 @esop @mamabear2 who can share how long they were on Keytruda for bladder cancer and if they started a new treatment option after stopping.

@hardtailsmsncom1, what treatment option is being suggested for you now?

I was on chemo for four months and then Keytruda for two years. This past June I had a PET scan and my cancer was in remission. My oncologist stopped treatment. I had another scan in September and all is good. Will get a scan every four months and hopefully cancer will stay in remission. If and when it returns, my doctor says he feels Keytruda will again work for me and possibly use in combination with some new medication. Hope and pray treatment will work for you. Moose63.

Was never on Keytruda.

I am new to this forum . After my fourth installment of Keytruda I developed a severe rash on my back and chest . Keytruda was stopped after that . My doctor has switched to ADSTILADRIN and had my first installment on November 4 , Cysto in 3 weeks . The treatment was tough due to holding in my bladder for 1 hour with tremendous pressure . Ed
