      Thank you all for responding I will check into MD Anderson.  Yes, from what I have been able to find about LM it is aggressive and the prognosis isn't very good, 10 weeks I read in one place.  that's why I was wondering if anyone had it and had Keytruda.  The one thing I read they do for LM is a reservoir in the skull that delivers treatment right to the spinal fluid.  So far has had WBR and spinal radiation to try to slow it down.  Maybe give Keytruda a chance to work.

      best wishes to you all!  Thank you again.
