A lot fewer events happened with pembrolizumab before, and after, surgery.

[BBB333]

Mrs. BBB333 was asked to take part in this study in 2020 (her 2015 stage 2B melanoma had metastasized into stage 3C in late 2020).

For several reasons she declined the invitation — the biggest was her immense fear of needles. She chose to take pembrolizumab every six weeks @ 400 mg per dose thus reducing the number of infusions by 9.

Mrs. BBB333 had her two egg sized tumors removed from the outside and inside of her left pelvis along with 17 lymph-nodes, five of which were positive for a strain of Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma (microscopic). This discovery would have forced her removal from the study.

She is doing well two years after the surgery and her Lymphoma is still microscopic and is contained to her GI tract according to her last several PET scans.

We are enjoying our time together and have several trips planned this summer.

Thanks for posting this article.
