in Uterine/Endometrial Cancer #1

 

 

Well, I was hoping that Donna Faye would be first to report any side effects from this

Keytruda/Lenvima treatment. 

 This combination was FDA approved for some Endometrial Cancers on September 17, 2019

so I would have thought several ladies would have been on this treatment

 

My timeline:

December 2017 - Hysterectomy and UPSC stage 3A

January 2018 + 6 Taxol/Carboplatin

May 25 external pelvic radiation

June 2018 – January2019 - Herceptin only maintenace.

April – second opinion to discuss recurrence

May 2019– trial olaparib (28 days only -could not tolerate)

June 2019 – Dec. Doxil and Avastin

January 2020 – Avastin only (CA-125 climbing)

February 21, 2020 – DAY 1 Keytruda/Lenvima

maybe a little nausea - will keep you posted

    Good luck to you, Little Annie.

    I have been following your progress. You and Zsa Zsa have the USPC that herceptin can help. I think all of us are rooting for you and Donna Faye with your Keytruda combo, so keep us posted.

    Good to hear from you

    As I wondered how your first day went. What dose did you start on the Lenvima? Looks like I may be a month behind you as having to clear up some other things before I begin. Hope all goes well!

    Keytruda and Lenvima DAY 1

    I took the full dose of 2 pills each 10mg........I saw where you wanted to start on only 10mg and I hope to get to that if side effects are as bad as I am expecting......88% of patients require dose reductions or discontinuance due to side effects!   so I'm hoping my oncologist will agree to lower dose ASAP.   A little fuzzy headed tonight.

    I am interested in your experience with this drug as I may be prescribed it (pending outcome of March PET scan). Thank you for sharing your experience with it.

    You have been in my thoughts all day

    Hoping you are managing well, Little Annie.

    I am awaiting the result of my BP keeping to see if I will be able to start the treatment. I am rather frustrated that I was offered this as hypertension has been on my records for 10 years, yet it was not a problem until we asked what it might do.  I meet with the doctor on March 3 to discuss but treatment may be several weeks away or we may have to drop back and punt. GRRRRRRRR

    How are you doing?

    Hope you are doing well on the L/K treatment. I am very interested in side effects as I may be put on this treatment after my PET scan the 23rd.

    Let us know how you are. Prayers!
