      Good plan Scooby!  I did Pembro for a year and a half I just a little fatigue and joint pain that was a bit of a mystery for awhile.  But I watched my tumors melt away!

      May you see all your tumors melt away, too!

      Shalom,

      I did 2 1/2 years of nivo (Opdivo) which is the other anti-PD-1 product from 2010 to 2013.  The response rates and side effects are similar.  I had some tiredness (but still worked!!!), rashes, achy joints (but I still ran!!!), and the worst for me were outright mouth ulcers (dry mouth and mild irritation are more common)…but…most importantly – it got rid of a brain tumor that I had when I started and I have been NED ever since with my last treatment in June of 2013!!!  I wish you my best!  celeste

      Keytruda has been great.  Side effects are very manageable.  Joint pain and fatigue for a few days each time is all I have had to deal with.  I am praying it works for you as it has for me.
