What kind of experience/side effects have patients had with Keytruda (monotherapy) for neuroendocrine cancer?

I haven't heard of many instances of Keytruda being used for NETS. I'll be curious to see if therebhave been any reports of it's use and the results

My friend did Keytrude for kidney cancer and it shut down his adrenal glands completely. He had to go off Keytruda and start medication to start his adrenal glands again.
