  Hi OnJnAnT
  My oncologist has said am OK to go on it. I still not sure myself if I want to. Due to the fact this has happened over me hurting my hands in the first place. I have tried to reach out for anyone on treatment or stopped and on methotrexate but not much response. I seeing a hand specialist private this coming week so I will have a chat with him. Thank you for your message. Keep well. X

  Hi Jennifer
  
  I have been off Keydruda over 16 months , but my last scan showed lymph node up in chest so I have had a pet scan.
  
  Unfortunately it turns out active plus other areas as well. I am devastated as I completed 2 years of treatment no issues.
  
  My experience was my upper chest felt sore to touch and felt off plus voice was going. I am now starting keydruda again and praying it works as braf negative.
  
  Wishing you all the best and hope not mel xx

  TexMelanomex: Warriors,
  
  I have been absent for quite some time and it is with a heavy heart that I tell you “Melanoma” Mike passed on 17 DEC. I received a text from his wife last night letting me know. For those of you who knew Mike, you can attest to his inspirational messages and his warrior spirit. He was one of my first friends here on the forum and we became closer outside of the forum. Mike was a kind, funny, and supportive warrior and he will be missed tremendously. Until we find a lasting cure for this bastard of an enemy…I hope we can all be more like Mike. Rest easy brother.
  
  Tex
  
  Please forgive me this is my first time using new forum.
  
  Such sad news to hear Melanoma Mike has passed. He was a true warrior and always had a good sense of humour. He will be missed by many god bless you my fiend. ????

  Hi Maryb-z
  I am just about to post update on my treatment. I have been on keydruda nearly 3 years now. Been NED for 18 months since on treatment. We have made decision to have my last dose on monday. I am nervouse about coming off but same time happy for a break. Very hard decission to make . I have had no bad side effects but could still develop them at any time. I can resume treatment if need to if returns . Some people stop once reached NED regardless of how long have been having it. Some stop for bad side effects but still either NED or stable. Think its your choice with sound of it. See what others say , sure you will get other views on it .Wishing you well.

  So sorry you had arthritis from treatment. Hope they have managed to give you alternative treatment after response had stopped for melanoma.
  I am very nervous about going on methotrexate as it does opposite to my treatment for melanoma. I think I have a couple of doses left to have of my immunatherapy.
  Thank you for your message means a lot.

  Hi melanie
  I hope your results will be good for you. For me was a long dark time getting to NED. Started my journey 2011 , over the years I have had melanoma in liver, lungs, other areas in body, brain tumour, plus was very poorly in 2018 with a stomach tumour. Had 9 bags blood over 3 weeks very weak. I will do my best to keep fighting and dont know what will be next.
  Keep your strength up, positive thoughts.
  Pray for good scans for you.

  Hi Mark,
  I am braf negative my first treatment was ippi which reduced my tumours by 50% . That was in 2013, I had a good run till 2015 brain tumour so Gamma knife to treat that. Then 2017 had car accident not sure if this started it again but had it in chest lymph nodes. So went on pembro. Had a tumour in stomach removed by surgery for that. I have had good year on treatments with little side effects . There is good treatments here yes they stick to guidelines not like in other countries they mix treatments like you had and trials available. Hard dicession on if coming to UK but I have responded well so far on treatment . Will be nice to have a break but will be nervous about it.
  Wishing the best
