      I had good results with Keytruda for a year…Then, when we saw progression, I also was dealing with internal bleeding and anemia. So Keytruda was stopped. I have been on targeted therapy Braftovi and Mektovi for several months. I saw NED! Very temporarily. Now disease is progressing in both lungs. I have tried all that is available over the 8 years I have been fighting this. My Dr. at Siteman Cancer Center in St. Louis is looking for a clinical trial, but because of side effects I have had he is dubious he can find one. He is considering going back to Keytruda… although bleeding again is a risk. Since it stopped working for me before, is there still a chance it might help me stabilize for awhile? Nervous.
