  1. Thanks, il not doing well with things after first treatment. Lots of bone pain, nausea consoled with meds, but got a lung infection so have been running a temp for over a week. Hair is starting to come about and feels like I’m wearing a cap of pins. I know I will get through it just really hate cancer today
  2. Thank you, it is nice to hear others stories and feel free to openly express your fears. I so appreciate how strong and positive this space is. I also want to express hope and peace to all. All in!
  3. Thank for your advice. My PPL is 1 so he felt that immunotherapy with both Opdivo and Keytruda would only be a 2nd option at best. Chemo would be Taxol and Carbplatin plus Keytruda for 4 cycles every 3 weeks would be my best shot. Follow up with Keytruda every 3 weeks. Seems like with Keytruda if it goes south it goes fast and bad. I did 12 months of Durvalumab every 2 weeks. It affected my thyroid so am on medication for that.My fear is with Keytruda am I more apt to have organ damage?? I have also had C-Dif many years ago and worry about colitis. I know there is no way to know without moving forward with treatment but having long term issues frightens me as the last thing I want is to be more of a burden on my loved ones. They have been steadfast and loving, but I worry about how fair that is to them.
  4. I have reoccuring Stage 3 non small cell lung cancer. I have been given the choice to treat with chemo and Keytruda or not treat and was given 6 months to a year. I did ok with chemo and radiation the first time and the same chemo drugs will be used at a higher dosage, but Keytruda is new and what I have read is very scary. This is such a hard decision to make and wonder if anyone could share their experience with Keytruda?
