Started immunotherapy maintenance: What side effects can I expect?

@dutchw- Thank you for being so honest. There have been a lot of people, who have been given solemn news about their cancer journey, have tried alternate medications. And all of us have probably given it some thought, if...One of my favorite doctors did so for her husband. However, Mayo Clinic only supports evidence-based, science supported medical treatments for cancer.
One thing that bothers me is that you haven't told your doctor. Do you have plans to do so?

Yes, I plan on telling him when we return home in April. We are currently in Arizona at our winter home with another Dr. I don’t feel comfortable talking with. I’ve noticed Mayo Clinic adheres to the Keytruda/Altima cocktail regardless of how the patient tolerates the side effects. Can a patient refuse the Altima and just take the Keytruda while being treated at Mayo?
