@141emp Keytruda+Padcev is a side effect challenge initially. Most of us went thru those effects. Upside, the combo is a game changer in oncology with survival rates. But initially with treatment you wonder is it worth it. I did on multiple occasions and now in "remission".

@sperio I agree😊 I had a complete response on both drugs after 4 cycles last October and cancer is still non detectable based on scans last week and Signatera 2 weeks ago. That said I was having a VERY rough time and my medical oncologist thought it best to change direction a bit after 6 full cycles. (2 month hiatus from both drugs and now Keytruda only. ) The treatments that have become available to us are amazing, but generally not without issues. A wise patient advocate/ mentor I met in NY reminds us that it is different for everyone.😊
