I have a good friend who did well in Keytruda for 2 years. He them developed very sensitive and thin skin. He was switched to another immunotherapy and did fine. Every patient is different and COPD is troubling along with immunotherapy. But it is worth trying as you may do well.

It sounds like you're starting a treatment plan that involves a combination of chemotherapy and Keytruda (Pembrolizumab) for your lung cancer. Initially, you'll receive both treatments together every three weeks for a total of four sessions. After these initial sessions, you'll continue with Keytruda alone, also every three weeks. It's important to follow your healthcare provider's instructions closely and report any side effects you experience. Keytruda is administered as an IV injection by a healthcare professional, usually in a health clinic or doctor's office. Remember, it's crucial to communicate openly with your healthcare team throughout your treatment. Wishing you strength and support on your treatment journey.
