Hi @beviebk1, I’m sorry to hear that cancer has made a return appearance. I’m tagging both @paula21 and @rainna who have experience with pembrolizumab (Keytruda) and lenvatinib (Lenvima) for endometrial cancer.

Bev, have you started this new treatment yet? How are you doing?

Hi Colleen,
I've started my Keytruda about 2 weeks ago. I'm scheduled for my 2nd. infusion in a week.
I've been on the Lenvima at 4mg. for a week and will probably move up to 8mg. by the end of next week.
So far I've been doing well with no apparent side effects.
Thanks so much for responding. I look forward to more conversation and firsthand experiences from others.

I'd be interested in what paula21 and rainna have to say about their experiences with LenPem, too. I have Stage IV serous cell endometrial cancer, and have been given a choice between LenPem or participating in a clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) for the treatment of selected HER2-expressing tumors, which are usually present in a variety cancer types, including serous cell endometrial cancer. I've read the scientific literature on both treatments and see that both appear to have serious side effects. The T-DXd so far is hypothesized to "show meaningful clinical activity and a favorable risk benefit" (whatever that really means). No study results have been published, that I can find. My situation is that I must allow the cancer to grow to a size that qualify me to participate in the study. This makes me nervous, given that this is a study and no results have been published, and that LenPem has been the recommended treatment for treatment for late-stage endometrial cancer. This I can start on immediately. The choice is up to me:(
