Just thought I'd mention this since I hadn't read about it. Concurrently with tapering off of prednisone about 6 weeks ago, I developed a "head cold". MRI (done for tracking tumors, not the "cold") showed lots of inflammation in the sinus area. Tried everything–anti-biotics, allergy meds, etc. Nothing helped. No sense of smell and limited sense of taste (no jokes). "Cold" moved into my eyes to the point where my vision was affected by constant mucus. After 6 weeks of feeling like crap (not complaining; minor nuisance in the scheme of things), finally bit the bullet and went back on prednisone (short course and low dose). What a difference. I hate being on prednisone and will have to deal with its side effects (though the extra energy is welcome)–but it's nice to get relief.

My husband has been on Keytruda for 15 treatments and now seeing only partial response. His eyes have watered a lot, sometimes blurry vision and has had sinus pressure and pain, all stuffed up. Most recent new symptom is a fever of 99.4 but nothing over 100. -
