  1. Thanks for the responses. Different immuno therapies for different situations. I will ask about magnesium.
  2. Thanks. I don't know how long I will stay on Keytruda. At one point it was going to be two years. I did have an opaque glass (?) nodule that showed on my last two scans. Since it hadn't changed, the decision had been to just keep monitoring. I see my oncologist next week so I will ask him again about that. I read a post about hip pain and other pains and have noticed some in my hip sometimes also. But I'm aging. Another thing is a side crampy like pain. (I used to have that awhile ago and it turned out that I had broken a rib from coughing.). Anyway, all questions to bring up. Since I see him alternative times I usually have some. (I know you are all familiar with the questions drill but I can always use some prompting too. Sometimes I find myself just saying "I'm fine." )
  3. I am new to this smart and welcoming group of travelers in the lung cancer world. I have been in the world for two years but haven't gone far in talking to other patients. I am not an outgoing person but now I know It feels right to talk. I had had a biomarker test during the biopsy of my tumor and (while I was in the hospital with pneumonia) my doctor started chemo and keytruda. (They kindly waited until after midnight to start the infusion so that my hastily acquired Medicare supplement was in effect!). Now I get an infusion every three weeks. Yesterday I got on this immunotherapy forum and read through. Now I have a basic question: I saw a lot of comments about the "Durva Club" and durvalamab, I have never heard that word or known anything about that immunotherapy treatment. Keytruda is all I know. Are the different immunotherapies used for different tumor compositions?
