Hi guys,

i am on my 16 round of keydruda , in menapause, plus have arthuritus in spine ,hips, knees. My joints feel more sore recently. For anyone on keydruda have you felt more joint pain with treatment. I have spoken with my GP she given me meds for nerve pain as I am experiencing siatica. Having a MRI to make sure nothing eles.

just recovering from op from tumour on bowel. Not sure if treatment still working with not responding to the tumour. I am braf negative. Had ipi , keydruda and at present still on it. Has far as I am aware after removing the tumour on bowel I have no other tumours. My oncologist never says NED just normal scans.

could I have the combo if stopped responding. Could I have ippi- nivolumab despite already had ippi. Question to ask my doc but any feedback much appriciated.

Today I met my friend for the first time since my op plus not had much sleep with siatica for few weeks. I forgot to display my blue badge parking ticket. On return had a 95 pound fine to pay. I know I should have displayed it but with all what's been going off genuine just forgot to put on dashboard. Not a good day.

Hope all well my friends

  Hi ScoobyX, im sorry you had to go through so much latley! And that parking ticket to top it off!?..concerning your joint pain, i to took Keytruda months back & had some achy momments through #7 infusions (stopped due to desease progression) it wasnt til i started & completed Yervoy (given 4 times only) in combo with Opdivo (wich i still take) did my pains get worse, WAY worse, my knees are shot! Inflammatory Arthritis is now in my knees, Hydrocortisone, Naproxins and plenty of McAfee (Coffee) helps me deal with it. Welcome to Immunal Therapy Scoob, its give & take, its Pros & Cons, do we wanna continue living & have knee/joint pains? or pass away and not feel the knee/joint pains anylonger? I choose manageable pain!..hope you feel better Sister…Mike
