      Hi, I still visit every day and I’m continually amazed by the support and caring provided to and by members of the forum. My thoughts and prayers are continually with with everyone! I reached the 3 year NED mark last week and reluctantly am moving to scans every 6 months. I had my last Keytruda treatment on 12/4/19 (2 years and 5 months, NED at 9 week scan, I wanted to make sure to get it all and didn’t really have deal with side effects) and the minor side effects of fatigue and joint pain have reduced significantly.
      Bye for now and best wishes to everyone. Keep fighting!
      Bill
