My husband had a stage 3 melanoma removed from his upper arm and also the nodes. there is no cancer present, verified with CT, MRI, and biopsy. He is 83. How safe is it to go the treatment route of body checking and skin exams with dermatologist every three months instead of monthly infusions?

Two links, first talks about toxicity, second link is data from Pembro (keytruda) pd-1 drug trial where Pembro was compared to placebo arm ( no drug). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nD65VIIRezE https://www.onclive.com/web-exclusives/fda-accepts-application-for-adjuvant-pembrolizumab-for-stage-iii-melanoma
