Stopping Keytruda after two years

Posted by moose63 @moose63, Apr 19 5:21pm

My oncologist has told me that Keytruda treatment is normally stopped after two years. I am about at the two year point. Has anyone had Keytruda treatment for two years and stopped treatment? If so, what happened? My cancer is bladder cancer that showed up in some lymph nodes one year after my bladder was removed.

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

My husband was in a clinical trial for bladder cancer and was on Keytruda for 2 years. Last treatment wirh Keytruda was almost 2 years ago. He did receive bcg as part of the trial and the last treatment was several months ago. Now I guess it's wait and see with scopes every 6 months. We are hoping to beat this horrible disease but it's hard as the caregiver to let your guard down and relax.

Hope and pray he will become cancer free.
