Starting immunotherapy Keytruda

I am scheduled to begin taking Keytruda treatments in 4 days following initial results from melanoma tumor testing. I’m debating on waiting on results from Sygnatera testing before starting. Following 7/24 surgery for lung tumor removal, it’s taken 6 weeks before my appetite has returned and my positive mental outlook returned. I’m inclined now to wait for Sygnatera results, especially after reading comments on after effects. I’m just now starting to feel, “more normal”.

@cglover47, It's so hard to know how our bodies will react to any treatment. These treatments are powerful, and have life-saving potential for many, and come with significantly serious side effects for some. It's scary. Have you discussed your concerns with your oncologist or one of the nurses in the office? When is the molecular testing expected to be back?
