My husband has mets to lung two spots on left lobe.
He has completed two treatments of Keytruda Merck's immunotherapy drug. He is eating jello and pudding for the first time in months. G tube inserted after 70 lb weight loss in early August 2016. Feeding tube has saved his life.

Welcome to OCF, Mikes wife! Im hoping your husband continues to do well with the feeding tube. Best wishes with his treatments!!!

Iammikeswife,

Welcome to the forum. It is amazing how much progress immunotherapy has made in cancer treatment over the last couple of years. My husband was in a phase 1 immunotherapy trial back in 2013. It seems that your husband is doing really well. To be able to swallow, I believe, makes a lot of difference to how the patient feels. John had a feeding tube for two years before he had his esophagus opened by a new procedure.

I wish things continue to improve for Mike. Please keep us posted.
