What are experiences like continuing Keytruda treatment beyond 2 years?
While the search results don't include specific member experiences about continuing Keytruda beyond 2 years, they do show that treatment journeys can vary significantly. Some people undergo multiple therapies over several years, adjusting their treatment plans as needed.
One MyLungCancerTeam member shared their five-year journey, during which they underwent several different targeted therapies and radiation treatments. They described it as a "roller-coaster ride of different treatments" but successfully reached the five-year survival milestone.
The FDA recently approved a new injectable form of Keytruda (Keytruda Qlex) that can be given as a quick 1-2 minute injection under the skin, rather than a 30-minute IV infusion. This may make long-term treatment more convenient for those continuing therapy.
If you're considering or currently on extended Keytruda treatment, it's important to discuss your specific situation with your healthcare provider. They can help you understand what to expect and whether continuing treatment aligns with your treatment goals.
