    After 27 doses of Keytruda and nearly a year of clear MRI/ brain scans and Pet/CT full body scans I have officially been removed from treatments.  Was a little nerve racking yesterday but when Dr. said your clean again and done with treatments my Christmas wish came true.  Lots of nurses and DRS. to thank and hope to see them only on a very limited basis.  Scans will continue every 3 mos. for awhile.  Its been a 5 year 3 mo. journey and hope its finally over.  Best wishes and Merry Christmas to everyone on this board you will always be in my thoughts and prayers.  Beans
