Pembrolizumab no longer working, lung cancer has spread

After 18 treatments  of pembrolizumab  I have just been told  that  it  is  no longer working and my lung cancer has spread. Next month I see a doctor at a different hospital to see what happens  next. The thing is, I feel so well,  not losing weight, coughing up  blood or any of the other symptoms  we're  told to expect. Last October I was in hospital with pneumonia, I wonder if that stopped it working?. I hope everyone  else is coping with being "locked in", thank goodness for my garden. Take care x

  • I'm sorry your treatment is no longer working missusb. It must have been quite frustrating to hear this, especially when you feel good within yourself and haven't had any symptoms.

    Hopefully some of our members who have been in similar situations will pop by for a chat soon but I just wanted to let you know we're thinking of you and hope that the next stage of this journey is more successful.

    Stay safe missusb and keep enjoying your garden. Certainly lovely weather for it today :)

    Kind regards,
