Finished taking one year of Ketruda in early December 2025 for cancer (non-small cell) to the upper right lung. Was prescribed prednisone 10 mg later reduced to 5 mg daily. After two months slowly came off of prednisone. Now it’s February 2026 and I’m experiencing swelling and extreme joint pain to both wrists, hands and shoulders. Presently not on prednisone, also experiencing kidney issues.

welcome, @davidberry1. Has your oncologist related the swelling and kidney issues as a late side effect of Keytruda? What has been suggested to reduce swelling, pain and kideny issues?
