Immunotherapy

Posted by jon6063 @jon6063, Dec 20, 2025

This year I have had major surgery and radiation for squamous cell carcinoma. They are suggesting intravenous treatment of Pembrolizumab. Has anyone ever had this?? pro's-con's? Thanks

I believe your treatment is called KEYTRUDA. I have been on it 4 years. It was right after I had covid twice so we dont know if keytruda or covid damaged my heart. My only problem is breathlessness. It is every day and it is debilitating.
My 3 doctors can't find out why I am suffering. As long as I am sitting I am ok. When I get up and walk 10-20 feet I can't breath. My cancer is Melanoma in my lungs.
I haven't found anyone that has this problem.
