Hi @gregc1, Welcome to Mayo Connect. It sounds like you had a good run on Keytruda, sadly the side effects of the TKIs can take their toll on the body. I haven't been met with your situation yet, I take a different TKI. How do you feel about taking a break from treatment? What scan schedule has your doc recommended to monitor any new growth?

I feel a little nervous about the uncertainty of being able to return to Keytruda treatments. As for scan schedule, my doctor has always had me on a 3 month cycle so I assume that will be her plan going forward. My next doctor visit is December 4th and I have a Brain MRI and a c/a/p ct scan prior to that visit. I hope to be more informed about the future plan after my visit.
