Keytruda + Lenvima For Recurrent Endometrial Serrous Carcinoma

Posted by beviebk1 @beviebk1, Oct 15, 2023

I was diagnosed with stage 4 endometrial cancer in 2021. I had a total hysterectomy and my omentum was also removed. My initial CA-125 was 500, but after carboplatin-taxol chemo my number went down to 15. I had ct scans every 3 months and all were good until this year. Three lymph nodes showed some small increased sizes and after another 2 scans they had continued to increase. A biopsy confirmed that my serrous carcinoma had returned. I've had no symtpoms and feel fine. I'm now starting my treatment with Keytruda and Lenvima.
I'm looking to hear from others that have had this treatment and get some tips and encouragement.

Well, as it's turned out, I am not going on the LenPem treatment after all. I have just started a targeted treatment, ENHERTU, as part of a clinical study. Feeling energy depleted today after first round (but that could be attributed to having to fly from Victoria to Kelowna and back, in addition to the flurry of prelim health tests I was subjected to). Hope I will feel better by the next the treatment. My oncologist was excited to see that the study was taking place near to where I live (Victoria), and also believes that I will have less server side fx than the LenPem. Only time will tell: the study has no end date, which means I keep on the program until I start showing negative reactions or no improvement. They should have a better idea after a blood draw and CT scan in 6 weeks.
Fingers crossed.
