Thanks Dutch I am glad to know that the port is easier and well worth it, sure wish it was going to get done before I have my 1st chemo, session I only have one day after treatment and then I go to get the port and biopsy done sure hope I am well enough to make it. what chemo drugs did you try if you don't mind me asking. how long have you been taking Keytruda ? I will be taking Carbo-Taxol and Keytruda for 4 sessions then I believe I will be staying on Keytruda. I got laughing I hope that is what Merry was talking about checking into comfortable !
Stay Healthy Dutch

Good morning Loula.. I think you’ll be okay for your port & biopsy procedures. Please let us know how it goes. The chemo drugs they gave me was Carbo & Alimta plus the anti nausea stuff. I started Keytruda in Dec 2019, 200mg every 21 days and still on it. What I don’t understand is the reasoning behind only 4 sessions of a cocktail that includes Keytruda. Have you been checked to find your PDL-1 for immunotherapy? Keep your chin up..
