Anyone's cancer return after Keytruda?

@pml thx for sharing your post.
I am sorry for your loss. But encouraging that you husband lived 14yrs post Keytruda.
After 24 Keytruda infusions thru 1.5yrs, my husband has developed adverse symptoms — Afibs, hyperthyroidism, skin rash, gi issues, lack of appetite, fatigue, etc. Oncologist wanted 2 years, but thinks next infusion will be his last.
I hope my husband recovers from Keytruda & lives cancer free for many years

@abob,
Thank you for your kind words. I'm so sorry your husband is having bad side effects with Keytruda but that seems to be normal whenever anyone has Keytruda. My husband did live 14 years after stopping Keytruda but he also stopped any treatment at all. They weren't happy because these treatments cost $25,000 each time but it was his body and his money. I was glad that he stopped the treatments. He started feeling so much better. Also he ate a lot of good quality red meat and that helped a lot too. I know they are currently saying that red meat isn't good for you but I've eaten red meat all my life and I'm 79. The last time I saw the doctor he said he didn't need to see me again for a year because I was so healthy!
Another thing that helped my husband was prayer. We put all our problems in God's hands and God was there for us.I hope your husband does better. I'll say a prayer for him and for you also.
I wish you both the best.
