Sorry for the loss of your husband. My husband has been on the same treatment for 2 months and now he cannot even talk has trouble breathing is down to about 120 lb He's 6 '2 and the Oncology told me today she feels like she's killing him and wants me to stop treatment. We did an in person appt on examination Dr said he's really hot dehydrated and she will have the nurse give in I am fusion of fluid. My husband was sweating having chills and a high heart rate. He was diagnosed with stomach cancer that spread to his liver and the liver has growing since he's been on treatment. Did your husband ever try any other treatment after stopping the one that caused him the issues

My husband refused any other kind of treatment at all. We just prayed and ate healthy; mainly good quality red meat and lots of vegetables. My husband still had lung cancer and breathing problems but not as bad. He was able to do his normal things again, such as taking down the garbage, woodworking, repairing things in the house etc. He continued to see the cancer doctor and our primary care doctor and take his regular medications; blood pressure etc. My husband lived for 14 years with the lung cancer. He was 83 when he died in July of 2024.
Keytruda is a very strong medicine. Plus everyone is different. Some people do very well on it but others like our husbands don't do well on it at all. I hope things go well for your husband. I will say a prayer for him.
