"Diagnosed last July with stage 4 metastatic bladder cancer (to liver and lymph nodes). Started with Keytruda and Padcev three-week rounds for 8 weeks, then Keytruda only at first every three weeks and now every six weeks. I was in extreme pain and not able to eat before I started treatments, after just two treatments, the pain was gone and I had begun eating again. I had some hair loss and rashes while on Padcev, but have not had any side effects since being only on Keytruda. I now go to treatments every six weeks and hope to enjoy many more pain-free and healthy days in this world thanks to these two drugs. I just wish Keytruda was less expensive or I could take it at home."

"I am experiencing numbness in my hands and feet, muscle pain in my shoulders, legs, and hips. These pains are worse in the AM and subside as the day progresses. The swelling and numbness in my ankles and feet usually happen late at night, before night."

"My father has been battling bladder cancer for the past 6 years with it moving to his kidneys in the past 2 years. My dad completed his series on Keytruda at the end of last year and experienced minimal side effects during it. However, it was revealed at the end of the treatment that the medication had not improved his cancer whatsoever, but allowed it to continue to develop. Over the past 3 months, he has been experiencing excruciating pain throughout his entire abdomen that has caused him to be unable to sleep for weeks at a time. During his treatment, his taste buds were destroyed, and he has since had no appetite for food in any form. He weighs only 118 lbs as of now. Doctors couldn't explain his pain, but after going over the manual that accompanied the medication, it was revealed that this pain could last for the remainder of his life. Keytruda robbed him of the quality of life he had before treatment. I wish this had never made it to human trials."

"After 4 months of treatment, my bladder tumor went from 60% of the bladder to 20%, and the tumor on my left kidney went from 5 cm to 2 cm. Side effects are very manageable."
