Members with KRAS G12 mutations shared their diverse treatment experiences, with many receiving Keytruda as part of their regimen, either alone or combined with chemotherapy drugs like carboplatin, pemetrexed, docetaxel, or cyramza, and one member taking the targeted therapy Lumakras (sotorasib) specifically for G12C. Several members described their treatment journeys, including one who achieved no evidence of disease after a year of immunotherapy, another who experienced stable disease before switching to a second-line treatment that finally showed shrinkage, and others navigating recurrence after initial surgery with optimism about their PD-L1 levels making them good candidates for Keytruda. A recurring theme was the importance of knowing the specific G12 variant (such as G12C or G12D) to access targeted therapies, managing side effects like rash and fatigue, staying positive through setbacks described as bumps in the road, and leaning on community support while adjusting to life with metastatic disease.

Hi Trish. Thank you for your help. I got some normal cough medicine from pharmacy and seems to have worked with my cough. I have my next immunotherapy on 4 June.
I'm glad you are feeling positive and your cancer is in check.
I'm still a bit slow in recognising this is my life now and still feeling sad most days, but I do get out and about.
Anyway, you have a great weekend. Hope the sun is shining for you 🌞

Hi Anita,
Have heart immunotherapy maybe your only necessary treatment, they are making such huge strides in cancer treatment. Keytruda is one of the best and widely used. I can truly say I believe immunotherapy saved my life, I'm over a year now no evidence of disease. I was stage IV metastatic with large tumor on left lung pressing on my heart and
a tumor on each adrenal gland.
Do what you can when you can, stay positive and reach out to your support people.
Trish
