My Husband's journey with Glioblastoma

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.

Well, Steve had his Avastin treatment on 2/17/21 and his very first Keytruda infusion yesterday, 2/24/21. So far no side effects, and we certainly hope it stays that way!
