Oh no I am so sorry to hear this, I was really hoping that he was doing better. I understand completely how you are feeling. We are in Naples Florida and our oncologist is with Florida Cancer. We do have Moffit Cancer in Tampa if we need them., His big surgery was in November, his was nodular 2B. This surgery was a lymph node this past week and Keytruda will start in a few weeks. I am so sorry that happened to your husband with Keytruda and I appreciate you sharing that with me. We are worried of course. I like you try to shield him from my fear…

I have many close friends close by thankfully ..and support from my sister too,. I will be praying for you both. Where are you located?

Hoping he will have no problems with Keytruda. My husband also suffers from Multiple Sclerosis which I think contributed to his mouth sores and being a poor candidate for Keytruda therapy. We have a friend that also had melanoma and he is now cancer free after the Keytruda therapy. I think it is a wonderful treatment and I wish my husband could use it. I hope it will be your husbands solution.
We live in Peoria Illinois. We drive about 6 hours to Mayo for treatment. Both his local oncologist and dermatologist strongly recommended us to travel up there. Mayo is wonderful but it is a drive and about a 3 day minimum because I can't drive in the dark.
Please keep me posted about you husband's updates. I truly care and will keep you in my prayers and thoughts.
