Immunotherapy with Clear Cell Carcinoma- Endometrial

I'm so excited to hear of new approaches coming out of clinical trials! I am following the advice of my oncologist, but I also have a whole care team for helping me:
A cancer nutritionist, my primary doctor, a dermatologist, a chiropractor. I'm working on adding a physical therapist and allergy specialist as I am prone to skin rashes from Keytruda.

@paula21 Greetings! Since I'm about to start Keytruda, alone, as a maintenance drug, could you kindly provide your feedback. So you infuse 400mg every six weeks? My CA 125 is 6 (that is a normal person) and my last CT scan did not show any cells. Therfore, I am concerned about continuing on a drug that may have adverse long-term effects on my body and wellbeing, compared to where I stand now. Thank you in advance for your kind response.

This is a great approach. Like you I’ve assembled a team although I’m not in active treatment right now. These including my primary care physician, my nurse practitioner for my cancer surveillance appointments, integrative medicine physician, massage therapist, and nutritionist. I recently added an endocrinologist because I had a fracture due to radiation therapy and so need to focus on bone health more intensively.
My integrative medicine doctor helps me put everything together. She’s an oncologist now working in integrative medicine so she is very helpful to me.
