    Hey Julie,

    I have not seen you post lately so I was wondering how you are doing on Keytruda.Have you had scans yet and were the results great? I hope that you are doing well.

      Hey Anon!

      Thanks for asking.  I'm doing well! I t's all good.  I've just been busy as I've started traveling for work again.

      Pembro's been very good to me so far- I've had very little side effects with Pembro- headache, body ache, fatigue mostly.  And those don't last very long- just a few days.  But the best part is that it looks like it's working as I can barely feel where the little stinkers were!  Yes, I'm pretty happy about that!

      My treatment schedule has gotten really messed up, though.  My Rock Star Doc has switched hospitals, and isn't set up at the new place yet for infusions.  So I'm sort of in limbo trying to do the infusions at the old place– but getting the (completely normal for them) admin run around and scheduling confusion.  The plan is to have one more infusion there and then never step foot in there again. This is the plan anyway.  We'll see how it goes.

      Hey thanks for asking!

      Blessings,

      Julie

        I am so happy to hear that things are going well for you.

         What is your doctor's new telephone number and new address?

        I have a friend that lives in LA and she is looking for a new melanoma specialist. I told her about your Rock Star Doc. and that I would get your Rock Star Doc's contact information.

        I would sincerely appreciate your help so I can pass the contact info on to my friend.

        Shalom

        Julie,  

        I am also glad things are going so well.  Based on your post,  we have to be seeing the same Dr. in LA. My next infusion a week from Monday.  Wishing you well.
