Latest update.
My wife completed three treatments of Keytruda (each three weeks apart). She met with her oncologist today to review the CT scan she had yesterday (her 12 month scan). The cancer in her bones appears to have stabilized and no new lesions have been found. Thus for now the plan is to stay on Keytruda as long as it continues to work. The Keytruda guidelines now allow a double dose of the infusion administered every six weeks, instead of a single dose every three weeks. Fewer trips to the hospital will be very nice as we just completed our 66th trip today.
I should also mention that her pain has decreased significantly over the past month. She still feels fatigue as well as an overall soreness, but it is very manageable with Tramadol.
Okay that should do it for now. Hopefully will have nothing to report until the next scan in another three weeks.
Thanks,
James
