@jwool89 fasenra was the best thing I could have done. I was on xolair for a year twice a month. My doctor switched me to fasenra once every 8 weeks. My insurance pays $17,000 per dose but it was life changing. Three years of NO asthma problems. Then I got Melanoma skin cancer in my lungs. I had to go on immunotherapy Keytruda and I couldn't take fasenra any longer because keytruda doesn't work with it.

@songinmyheart54 I had the exact same experience with Fasenra. A couple of years ago I had a lapse in coverage so missed taking it for a couple of months & I could really tell. Now I am off because I am doing a clinical trial that doesn’t allow it but eosinophils have barely increased & the new med is helping. So sorry you are battling melanoma. Good thoughts to you & hope you overcome this quickly.
