@ettadutch That is a high PDL which means the Keytruda is most likely to work. My husbands was a 1...yup, we're grasping at straws over here but it was worth a try. Luckily we have a very good oncologist who is trying to figure it out and my husband is a trooper but he's getting weary and beaten up now. Hugs.......keep fighting!!

I had heard they only try Keytruda if the PD-L1 level is greater than 50%. Is that not true?

Cindy.. Sorry for not getting back sooner.. Yeah, I know how your husband feels but don’t let him give up. There was a time during chemo I couldn’t even dress or bath myself and had it not been for my wife I don’t know what I would have done. You are very important to your husbands wellness. If nothing else, this disease has given me a much greater appreciation of my wife and her feelings and fears. I’m sure your husband feels the same, so you hang in there too !! never give up..
