Kras doesn’t rule out Keytruda, however it is usually not recommended for MSS. There is a thread on here that tells of a MSS patient getting Keytruda due to her high tumour mutuational burden. If you check your mom’s tumour testing and see a high number of mutations, it might be something worth looking into.
I have Kras mutation and am MSI h. I have been on Keytruda for 18 months now and have had an amazing response.
Hope the news from your scan isn’t too devastating.

Admission time! I’ve been doing this over 3 years, I start Keytruda in 2 weeks and I know I’m KRAS and I have a high enough mutation burden to get Keytruda but.............I have know idea if I’m MSS or MSI. I can’t read the reports from MD Anderson, guess I’ll ask soon.
