@maraca Yes Keytruda is also an Immune therapy, when I was I first diagnosed the radiation doctor told me I had to much disease throughout my abdomen so I was not a candidate for radiation, but my tumor shrunk fairly quickly after a few chemo. There was another immune therapy they tried on me which is more targeted to my disease VyIoy, I had tested positive for the gene for that treatment but it was very hard on me and I requested to go back to the Keytruda since I was doing so well, I was the guy going to chemo on my motorcycle and doing the stairs where with the other treatment I slept for 3 days straight and then struggled with walking and general life for about two weeks after.

Hey Jim,
Stay on that motorcycle if you can. It seems our kind of lower set EC navigates to the abdomen lymph nodes, as yours has, and mine (I think.) It's good to hear you do well on the Keytruda plus Folfox. I am still waiting to start Kosovo immunotherapy on January 26, plus Folfox. Missed out on 2 weeks of any chemo just now due to a scheduling snafu and hope the cancer isn't going wild in the interim. I am very tired physically so keep wondering if it's the cancer wearing me down as I can't blame the chemotherapy just now.
I hope the lapse in treatment doesn't set me back is all.
Thanks for being so positive minded, Jim.
Marcia
