@williamfh I had stage 3 melanoma on my shoulder in 2015. Surgery was successful and lymph nodes were removed. This was a year after my breast cancer and radiation.
A little over 5 years later melanoma metastasized in my lung and is inoperable. I started on keytruda in 2021 and will be on it for life. Within the first several treatments no sign of the tumor so there is no doubt Keytruda is a miracle drug.

@songinmyheart54 Why would you be on it for life? Has it become something you must continue to take to fend off the cancer? So it sounds like it never really eradicated it?
