My husband had to start thyroid meds after 2 months on Keytruda. Lenvatinib is giving his gallbladder problems. Good to hear that you are in the monitoring stage with less cancer fighting drugs. Good nutrition is vital. Faith and family get us through the hard daily stuff. My husband is 74, diagnosed 1/6/26 stage IV FHdRCC- the darn rare genetic type. So it's faith in God as the Oncologist only has palliative meds to possibly shrink the lung & liver metastasis and if those spots can be shrunk enough possibly kidney & tumor removal. So he fights on and we but our faith in God because the Oncologist admitted that "I don't think anyone is an expert with FHdRCC". David- you help us smile knowing others have been on Keytruda a long time.
