Dad just diagnosed with stage IV adenocarcinoma

Thank you, Merry! We will have him as at his next appointment. He will likely do a combination of Keytruda and chemo (carboplatin). We are hoping he tolerates them well.

@rkschaef- Good morning. If your dad is not getting any sleep you might want to call his doctor prior to his appointment. Is he up and around?

Has he had any biomarker testing completed? They can do this using a tissue sample or a simple blood draw. This helps to determine the specific type of adenocarcinoma and can lead to a better match between the cancer and specific treatment.
