Can posters comment on their experience thus far with Keytruda. We do not have the BRCA gene but are figuring out our options after a post-whipple recurrence and a rather active localized adenocarcinoma tumor.

- Whipple in Nov 2018
- NED through 2019
- In Feb 2020, Noticed soft tissue in surgical bed (3 cm x 2.3 cm) with a negative biopsy
- In Aug 2020, Noticed soft tissue in surgical bed (3.5 cm x 2.8 cm) with arterial narrowing with biopsy pending

In terms of Chemo,
- Pre-whipple, took 5 rounds of mfolfirinox with no appreciable effect on tumor size after the 3rd session.
- Post-whipple, tried 1 round of Gemzar with severe reaction to the chemo regimen.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
