      I have been on Keytruda for almost a year and have had horrible chest pains. Before treatment I have experienced costochondritis, which is an inflammation from your ribs to your breastbone. It is horribly painful, I'm not sure if this is what is causing your pain, but mine has flared up with Keytruda infusions.

      Thanks Mat, I am scheduled for a scan this month, not sure if it's an MRI or PET. I'm sorry to hear about your tumor.  I hope things are better now.

      Oh yes Interferon.  I did it 3 times a week for a year.  My husband and I joke that when anything is wrong with me we blame in on Interferon (that I did 10 years ago.)  I hope you are doing well, Interferon was nasty stuff!

      Thanks Ed, it's helpful to hear other people's reactions.  Thankfully I am getting scan every three months.  Best of luck to you too!

      I do have a cyst on my pituitary.  It just hard to know what are side effects or something else going on.  Thank you for your response Deb 🙂
