Loss of appetite and fatigue after 10 weeks on Keytruda

It took about 3 months for the Keytruda to get completely out of my husband's body. He got pancreatitis which is a side effect of Keytruda. He almost died from that. But our primary care doctor got him to a good specialist which treated him correctly for the pancreatitis and my husband got better. The cancer doctor was so mad at the fact that my husband wouldn't have anymore Keytruda treatments, she refused to see him again. He only had 3 Keytruda infusions before he was so sick he refused to have anymore. I hope things go well for your husband. I'll say a prayer for both him and you.

My husband's also has had three treatments, severe side effects unable to swallow, no appetite, severe constipation for about a month, dehydration, unable to focus and
communicate his
thoughts. Now he may only say one word and that's just calling my name. Please I do solicit your prayers it's been tough I work so hard to get in treatment it appeared to be working with Target chemo for 5 months and in June they did a PET scan and it showed the cancer exploded and start growing and spreading. The side effects from chemo was so severe they stopped it and the doctor out for radiation to his liver which I got to update the couple days ago it has stopped the cancer from growing and spreading Dr was surprised it easily takes 8 weeks to see any results Zack should results in 5 weeks so he was very excited. So now he wants to do the right side he said my husband blood is getting better since he did the radiation treatment Thank you for your prayers my dear you stay safe and thank you for taking time out to talk with me.
