Have you ever had hiccups with or after chemotherapy?

Honestly, the hiccups have been devastating. However, the cancer with the Keytruda is life debilitating. The side effects and quality of life has changed him forever. He told me if he would have known this, he would not have taken Keytruda. The side effect I doubt will ever go away. That’s if he is cancer free after 2 yrs of Keytruda. That’s as long as he can be on it. No one tells him anything. No one answers his questions. The only answer he gets is everyone is different. That’s a ridiculous answer when Mayo is basically a research hospital

Unfortunately, “I don’t know” is never a popular answer to give or to receive. I did just read an Article about a guy who had hiccups continuously for 3 years and after essentially no answers and searching for 3 years. A doctor in Japan found a small benign tumor in his brain stem that was not found on CT scan in the US. The nuerosurgeon who did his surgery in London said that if it is continuous it is in the stomach or in the brain. If it isn’t in the stomach, get the MRI. I have hiccups a LOT. But not continuously, I have had this for years, many times a day and night but it rarely goes on and on for days.
