Treatment ended 5 years ago. CIPN continues to worsen. Believe the drug obviously is great for dealing with cancer cells but in my case put my immune system out of whack where healthy cells are being attacked with pain being the result. Can’t find anyone else who has experienced a similar fate.

Hello, I just finished my 3rd round of Keytruda for Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. I cant really answer your question but I do know when I started having stiff and sore muscles and joints the nurse said it can cause autoimmune type responses. I wonder if that is what you are experiencing?
Can I ask, how many rounds you did of the keytruda and if you did any chemo following? I have a PET scan coming up and my Dr mention chemo even if it is clear. I feel so good and all of my symptoms are gone, I am terrified of chemo making me sick .
