I have stage three non-small Cell lung cancer. They found it in March. It is now August. They wanted to set me up with chemo radiation and immunotherapy. I had chemo, which was carboplatinum and premixed had a severe reaction only 1 to 5% people get the kind I had and can no longer take it. Has anybody tried keytruda who has inactive colitis and how did that work? They’ve given me 6 to 12 months and it’s already been five. Would love to hear from anybody thanks. My name is Susan.

Many people in the cancer community have questions about how immunotherapy treatments like Keytruda might interact with other health conditions, and it's completely understandable to want to hear from others who've had similar experiences. While everyone's situation is unique and requires discussion with their oncology team, connecting with others who've navigated similar treatment decisions can provide valuable insights and emotional support during this challenging time.

Keytruda was not my friend. I ended up with Adrenal Insufficiency because of it. But, that was me. My Oncologist would tell you "if anyone is going to have a sideceffect - its Joy". It is good for most people.
