@retiredtom, that is encouraging that the tumor shrank. Have the other issues been resolved to allow surgery to be scheduled? How are you doing?

@colleenyoung is Merck doing anything to change the formulation of keytruda so as to lessen the debilitating side effects in my case?

@colleenyoung
I won’t know until my next scans at the end of April. Tomorrow is lab work and my next dose of Keytruda. If everything looks good I’m not sure when they’d schedule surgery. I’m leaving middle of June for a vacation with my kids and their families and I figure I’ll need 6 weeks of recovery. Surgery may have to wait until July. I’m starting to get used to the side effects and they now feel like a part of me.
