in Ovarian Cancer #1

My mom is in 10th cycle of keytruda for ovarian cancer recurrence. Last month her PET scan showed initial all lesions in brain and inguinal lymph nodes resolved. Doc said to continue treatment for six more cycles. However she is extremely fragile, lost 20 kilos, could take only fluids via tube and nervous all the time. Has anyone had similar effects and how did you deal with them?

    I think I've had all the side effects, fever, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and then I broke out in a severe rash. I've been on steroids for almost a month after a hospital stay. My Dr says that the CT scan shows great results soI guess I'll stick with it. I hope and pray your Mom does better.
