I ask this because the latest x-ray shows very worrying progression in my mom's lungs while we are still waiting for the MS test result before our onc comes up with a regimen. I have heard immunotherapy takes months to work in some patients and I am starting to worry if there is that much time left for my mom.
Much appreciated if you could share your experiences with Keytruda.
