Starting pemetrexed and carboplatin pembrolizumab: What to expect?

@professorc HiYa it’s Dave from Pa: I also went 1 yr before they confirmed my previously treated lung cancer had metastasis. We started the same chemo your husband is scheduled for as well as (5) rounds of radiation in July. My latest scan showed (8) of (10) tumors have shrunk or disappeared! We’re maintaining the KEYTRUDA immunotherapy every 6 weeks for now. Yes, the first few days following treatment can be a bit rough but with results like these I’ll tolerate it. Hang in there you’re on the right path. DgA

Thank you so much. This was very helpful. He gets his first chemo treatment on Monday. I’ll let you know how he’s doing. I was also wondering if you do any protein buildup prior to treatment. If so, can you share what you do? I have a Fussy eater here!
