No, the Keytruda is being used instead of of the Dostarlimab. When I was transferred over from one clinic to another because of my insurance wanting me to use an in-network provider, I was told by the new medical oncologist that they use Keytruda and not Dostarlimab. It's just their preference. Both drugs are of the same class (PD-1 inhibitors) so they should work the same way. As for the radiotherapy, I was told by my gynecologic oncologist that she didn't want to recommend it for me because of the potential side effects and the fact that the chemo/immuno regimen had a pretty much equal chance of effectiveness in my case. I haven't started any of the chemo or immuno treatment yet. My first cycle is scheduled for March 10th. I am having a port inserted this Tuesday.

@lmontem2 I'd like to welcome you to the Gynecological Cancers Group at Mayo Clinic Connect. I've noticed that you have posted in some discussions today in which you've provided encouragement and support to others and have shared your diagnosis and treatment plan.

How are you feeling about all that you have been through and with your plans going forward?
