      I have been on Keytruda with excellent results until recently. The melanoma has returned to both lungs, and I had internal bleeding/anemia. I am now back on Tafinlar/Mekinist…I took this medication in 2015 and struggled with high fevers. I was wondering if anyone has a success story to share with me about these meds..or any hints about how to deal with the side effects. .I am discouraged right now….Also, Ivam wondering if I will ever be a candidate for immunotherapy again??? Thank you for the help.
