Hello!

i wanted to check whether anybody tried the combo treatment after several Keytruda infusions.

My husband had 3 infusions and 2 Gamma Knife treatments.

His last Two MRI tests showed progression – significant enlargement of majority of existing lesions and multiple new lesions.

The conclusion was that Keytruda is not working and the plan is to start on the combo following Opdivo as a single agent.

Are there any concerns regarding efficacy of the combo after Keytruda?

    Thank you both for the info and support.
    
    although we are starting to loose hope, my husband is a real fighter . He tries to walk every day for 2-3 miles and willing to try everything possible.
    
    will keep posting
