Hi all and thank you in advance for the information and support. My 74 year old mother was diagnosed in June 2016 with stage 4 NSCLC. (Adeno-C, no mutations) upper left lobe tumor with a small lesion in the brain.
Because the objective of care was palliative she did not take platinum based chemo and instead went on Alimta (only). She had targeted radiation to the brain (cyberknife)
Oct scans were stable, additional scans in December showed progression. Lungs and now liver.
She just started keytruda this week. Her pDL =80%
She's quite frail and sleeping a ton. I would be interested in hearing from others on Keytruda. I have done all the research and hear promising things but fear her cancer has spread too much/too far. Just looking for any hope or inspiration here.
Thank you all so much
