I just got diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer, there's nodules on my lungs and lesions on my liver. I'm triple negative. I'm new to these forums. What experience do you have on Keytruda for breast cancer?

Thanks

    Hi Chiara Dag,

    What a shock for you. That's a lot to adjust to all at once!

    If you want to look at Keytruda and other similar immunotherapy approaches to breast cancer, you may want to visit these bco communities:

    https://community.breastcancer.org/forum/8/topics/...

    https://community.breastcancer.org/forum/73/topics...

    https://community.breastcancer.org/forum/8/topics/845722

    Not many members have written about trying these approaches, but you might find some direction or information to help with your decision-making process.

    Also, you don't have a bio, nor do you mention where you are or if you're interested in clinical trials like Sandpiper or off-label Keytruda prescribing for MBC, so it's hard to answer your questions. Please be sure to seek a medical second opinion from a major cancer center, if possible.

    I hope there are good solutions for you. Though the original diagnosis and prognosis are scary, many of us do have good outcomes and long periods of good health, even NED (no evidence of disease).

    May you too experience health, healing and well-bing, Chiara!

    Best healing wishes, Stephanie
