@otis123, what a relief that Keytruda was approved at this time. I know it's only been a few days, but how is your husband tolerating it? Has the nausea and unsteadiness subsided since you last wrote?

@mgreen616, how are you and your husband doing? What are the next steps for him?

The Keytruda was postponed since he was having so much trouble with this round of radiation. He finished the last radiation treatment today. He has improved a lot but still not 100% in his memory and his unsteadiness. At least he is back to walking around the house alone. So now as he keeps reducing the amount of Dexamethasone he is taking, I am hoping they can start the Keytruda this Wednesday. I guess the two drugs work opposite each other with the immune system, so it had to be postponed. He also had a very high protein count in his urine, so his Avastin was canceled last week also. I am pushing him to drink lots of water and hopeful that this Wednesday, 2/17/21, he will be able to get the Avastin infusion and maybe even start Keytruda.
