"I had a really, really bad reaction to chemo and was changed over to Keytruda, 134 dosage done by my weight. I’ve had very little side effects… I’ve done 12 or 35 treatments, I’m a little tired the first week. My tumor (dMMR) was located at the cecum and was removed in emergency surgery, 8” colon and 22” intestine and 19 lymph nodes. I am 3B with it metastasized into my lymph nodes around my aorta artery. My CT scans show it’s working. I’m very happy with my treatment so far and hope I continue."

"I was prescribed KEYTRUDA for stage 4 colon cancer. I had no problems with the infusions, but after the first infusion, had to have emergency surgery for a blocked colon. The surgeon commented after the surgery that she saw widespread evidence of cancer cell death. I continued on my Keytruda regimen for 8 more months with excellent results. I was listed as no evidence of disease after one year. Unfortunately, at this point, I developed acute pancreatitis. At this point, I was told that we would discontinue treatment and monitor."

"It stopped the cancer, but didn't reverse it. It kicks your butt for about 4 days. You don't do much, just lay around. After the 4 days, you get to feeling better. I get out and work around the house after that. I'm taking it every 3 weeks. It sure beats chemo and radiation. I'll die before I go through that again. Key advice: do your research, don't trust anyone."

"My doctor tried this after everything else has failed. It didn't work, in fact, it did nothing good whatsoever. My CEA went from 479 to over 2000, the highest it has been since I got cancer in 2016. It might work for some, but I haven't heard of it benefitting anyone. Good luck to those who use it."

"Keytruda wiped out most of my colon cancer, and I’ve been in full remission for well over 3 years."
