Re: Switching back to Pembro

I should be returning to more internet time in the fall. I have been using my time to RV, so I don’t always have access. I took Pembro for 20 months. I was battling colitis and then started having some breathing problems (turns out it was asthma-never had it before...side effect..dunno), so Dr did a...

Re: Switching back to Pembro

Great news Plastikos, Even my oncologist is increasing duration between fusions by a week every 3 months or so after a year of infusions every 2 weeks. It started with once every 2 weeks. It is now at once a month. Great to hear that Henry. Looks like we are kind of in the same boat right now. If i...

Re: BREAKING: Nivolumab (Opdivo) APPROVED for MSI-High CRC

I seem to have become quite forgetful as compared to earlier especially with regards to names and upcoming appointments. Could it be related to Nivolumab ? Has anybody else on Opdivo /Keytruda experienced similar memory loss related symptoms. Occasional muscular pains are still there. But overall, ...

Re: Can someone who is stage 4 really end stage still benifit from Keytruda?

I wasnt on hospice but was pretty close! Failed at folfox and folfiri...crap kept spreading and was taking over my lymph system. A lot of my Drs weren’t offering much hope, but thankfully my fellow oncologist was all excited about this new treatment and got me on it off label. I wouldnt be here if i...

Re: Beautiful Update ... Cured

This was exactly the message I needed to read today! For some reason I have really been discouraged and down, even though my last scan was stable...I just haven't wanted to post or even think about this blasted illness! Reading that your wife endured for 6 + months gives me a boost to never stop fig...

Re: How long until you see light at the end of the tunnel?

Judi, Happy Birthday! I hope today will be the start of feeling better for you, and am glad to hear your Onc sounds supportive! I cried pretty much straight through the first couple of months! I was prescribed Ativan also but found it didn't do much for me. I now have a script for xanax and it is go...

Re: Erbitux self-care kit

I certainly hope it's just the never ending flu/cold/ junk that seems to be prevalent in our area this year due to this crazy weather! I am really sorry to hear the Keytruda didn't work for you, would you mind telling why they don't think it worked? I have had a yes it's working, is it working? Yes ...

Re: How do you deal with loss?

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of both your parents so close together. {hugs} I also lost my parents in a relative short amount of time when I was young... I never "got over it" but I did get through it, one day at a time and by doing what just had to be done in the beginning. And th...
