I had my right kidney removed in October 24. All good until September 25 when it metastasized to my right lung. Went on immunotherapy, Keytruda and Inlyta for there months and tolerated the therapy pretty well though the Inlyta side effects caused discomfort, blood pressure and stool issues. Anyway in May my pet scan showed a complete response or no visible disease. Went off the Inlyta but kept doing the Keytruda infusions every three weeks. Just had another pet scan in August and still no visible disease. I hope it’s okay of I say praise the Lord!

@colleenyoung, yes, thank you, after the August pet scan I’m staying on Keytruda. I feel so grateful that I can take an Inlyta break and am tolerating the Keytruda fine so far. I hope we’re doing the right thing.🤞
