Well, the honeymoon is over. My “cancer-free” status only lasted a few weeks. I recently had a brain/head/neck/chest/abdomen/pelvis CT scan and got the results yesterday. New metastases I. The lymph nodes of the aortocaval, portal and peri-celiac region. I start Keytruda therapy on Monday. Wish me luck.

@scottmcf1431, how is it going with Keytruda?

@jon6063, the spasms from dehydration sound painful. Are you not able to drink enough water?

@scottmcf1431 So sorry to hear this. I am 14 years out from original SCC in my ear. Metastatic starting 18 months after original surgery, rad,chemo. Two lung surgeries and one met removed from muscle sheath, followed by mets in kidney and lymph nodes in 2020. Because mine was skin origin, I started on Libtayo, which works the same pathway as Keytruda. After 2 years on it all cancer was gone. I have been off for 3 years and still clear scans ( knocking on wood). These immunotherapies can be successful, and sometimes the side effects are very survivable. I hope you find good results from Keytruda. Don't give up hope. New treatments are always on the horizon.
