Bio | I was diagnosed with Amelanotic melanoma in March 2021. I had surgery to remove the cancer and learned that it had spread to a lymph node. I was on Keytruda treatments every 3 weeks until March 2022, receiving 16/18 treatments when I developed diarrhea. Treatments were stopped immediately. I was hospitalized for keytruda induced pancreatitis at the end of March. By the end of April I felt like I was back to normal, until the diarrhea came back. The oncologist doesn’t want me to stay on steroids, and wants me to see a GI, scheduled for Oct. Imodium doesn’t help. I am seeing a dietician to help with the inflammation. How long should I anticipate diarrhea after stopping treatments? Will I develop a chronic condition from having inflammation and diarrhea for so long? |
