We are grateful for the "up"days . Everything was fine until last Friday when the pain hit---and it hit hard all at once. I am not sure that the Keytruda has had any effect on the nausea as it started before the treatment. I don't know that it has made it worse. He has always had a big appetite so it is difficult for him to just eat a few bites and be done. I have been able to get in extra calories along the way so that he has not lost weight. He has no option as to when he has the Keytruda---next time (2 1/2 weeks) it will be in the AM. We live in a 55+ community and this evening there was a "Taco truck" for a Labor Day celebration. He felt like walking down--about a block--the tacos were awful, but the point of the event is getting out of the house and seeing some neighbors. We stayed about 1 1/2 hours and he was ready to come home and went to bed exhausted. But, it was great to get him out of the house for a while.

@texastribble It must have done you and him both a ton of good to get out and wander to the Taco Truck event. Even if he was exhausted, it could have been the physical output, and the energy it took to be out and seeing some neighbors. I bet many are supportive of you and your situation. Perhaps this can be a step to taking a short walk each day, get out in the fresh air?
