Hello,
My Dad was just diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer in October. He started with a combination of chemo and radiation, and once that was completely switched to chemo. His body was responding to the treatment and the tumor on his lung and one on the adrenal gland were shrinking (the one on his other adrenal gland was getting larger). For almost two months he had some health issues and had to be taken off chemo in order to get steroids. He is off of the steroids and now started Keytruda last Wednesday. He is having a lot of difficult side effects from keytruda (sleepy almost all day long, weak legs, joint pain, and no appetite at all). I have read that keytruda has been a miracle drug for many so I was just wondering if any of you experienced hard side effects and how long they lasted.
Thank you so much for any input you have to offer, I am brand new to this group.
