@richcolleen I am in same situation as you, just had my 3rd infusion of Keytruda added to my 10th Alimta (Chemo) treatment. Trying to keep cancer from growing, and it has slowed progression, and I should find out if it’s all stopping growth in a few days. I too am now out of commission 7 days out of each 21-day cycle. Have you discussed with your oncologist what the next step would be when current treatments stop working?

They are starting my husband on keytruda immunotherapy this week but he had kidney and 2 lymph nodes removed pet scan was clear but they are asking him to do immunotherapy every 21 days for a year. Is that necessary even if there is no visible cancer cells?? I just think it’s excessive for not having any visible cancer . Thanks
