I have similar story.
- Oct 2020, initial (accidental) diagnosis of endometrial cancer.
- Nov 2020 full hysterectomy. Path reports all clear with it being just initial stage & being local. Stage 1A. No follow-up treatment.
- June 2024, routine exam, vaginal skin tag spotted followed by CT scan for seeing presence of lung nodules. Follow-up biopsy confirming match with 2020 path tissues.

- sept - Dec, 2024, 6 rounds of chemo (carbo + Texol + Keytuda).
- Jan, 2025 Keytruda alone as maintenance dose at 6 weeks intervals.
So far has 2 treatments & they have been absolutely hard on me. Hearing. Blurry eyes (from chemo days continuing), fatigue, bone muscle pain, memory issue, back pain. Neuropath, you name it & I am feeling it. Scared from next upcoming treatment & not sure if I should try 1/2 dose at 3 weeks mark or full dose at 6 weeks.
- need to work for health insurance purpose but blurry eyes are concern. Unable to drive with confidence to even 1 block away pharmacy to pick up meds.
- now crippled with fatigue where totally healthy, asymptomatic & energetic 6 months ago.
- oncologist seems to dismiss my concerns too. Feeling lost on what to do next. Open to suggestions & grateful for all those sharing their experiences.

I'm so sorry you have a hard time with Keytruda. I had blurry vision after two years being on maintenance Keytruda every 6 weeks. I received an Eyelea eye injection and in a week I got my vision back. It supposed to be every three month but I only needed one time. Please see an ophthalmologist! Help us out there. You are not alone.
