Going Beyond Standard Immunotherapy

Posted by Tom Anderson @ta52, Dec 9, 2020

In my doctor's consult yesterday I was told that because I was tolerating the infusions so well with little or no side effects they want to go beyond the standard four infusions and continue with a Keytruda/Alimta "cocktail". Is this normal? Has anyone else been through this and what were the results?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Lung Cancer Support Group.

I’ve been on it 1 year and 11 months. It’s a piece of cake verse the chemo cocktails I was on. Only thing I’ve notice was blow out 1-4 days after infusion. Feeling pretty good also. Cancer is still in tumor in right lung, cells in kidneys, stomach and left lung. No growth. 🙏🏻
