@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?

@williamfh
I just saw your comment. In answer to your question.
Melanoma will hide and since this is my second bout of melanoma my oncologist is fearful if I go off keytruda the cancer will come back with vengeance and keytruda may not work a second time. There is no backup plan. Melanoma does not work with chemo and I cant take more than 5-10 mg of prednisone.
Presently in remission.
