Thank you, went to family doctor and he thought a reduced dose might be ok. I just put a call into our Oncologist, he is off on Fridays so I probably will not have his answer till Monday.

My husband was diagnosed with stage 4 plural effusion lung cancer in April 2021. He is being treated with immunotherapy Keytruda and now his scans is showing that the tumor is growing and spreading. His Oncologist is reluctant to treat with chemo because he has mild dementia. He has just started seeing some blood clots after coughing. I need to say before the immunotherapy his lungs were tapped 2 different occasions, they removed 2 pints each time. We now need to decide if we should try chemo because the Keytruda is no longer working. What opinion do you have?
