Hi RedRobyn,
My dad has been on Keytruda for 6 months now (today he had his 9th infusion). The doctors say that for melanoma it is kinda lifelong treatment… Indeed if you see the leaflet https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2016/125514s012lbl.pdf – please compare pts. 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 – they say to stop keytruda for lung/head&neck cancers after 24 months in case of no progression, but nothing for melanoma…
This was a rather disappointing news (as the drug is prohibitively expensive), but it would be very interesting to hear what others' doctors say in other parts of the world (we are located in Ukraine).
Stay healthy 🙂
