Liver metastasis after oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC)
I finished treatment for OPSCC (base of tongue + bilateral LN) 4 months ago. PET scan shows the throat cancer is gone but now I have on small metastasis on my liver and they want to start Keytruda. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Well, the honeymoon is over. My “cancer-free” status only lasted a few weeks. I recently had a brain/head/neck/chest/abdomen/pelvis CT scan and got the results yesterday. New metastases I. The lymph nodes of the aortocaval, portal and peri-celiac region. I start Keytruda therapy on Monday. Wish me luck.

2 ReactionsI also had Squamous cell carcinoma in my neck and base of tongue. 8+ hour surgery to remove it. Had 15 double doses of radiation. Then mine also move to my liver. 5 radiation treatment for that. Just started Keytruda 2 weeks ago. So far so good!
but I have been suffering from dehydration and now am getting stomach spasms that are as painful as labor pains. Anyone have advice on dehydration after radiation???
