      Hey Warriors,

      I completed round 20 of Pembro this week and by my calculations I have about 15 rounds remaining. I have to say that despite the joint pain, this most recent dose was one of the easiest, not much fatigue at all. Something curious and I'm wondering if anyone else experiences this,  it seems like its every other round that really wipes me out with fatigue and not feeling well for a few days. I havent quite figured out why yet and maybe its a number of variable like how well I'm rested, my diet, etc. Who's to say?

      I hope this finds you all waging war on the enemy without mercy.

      Warrior On!

            Rest seems to be key for me–less on the calendar, reduced work load. Also, eating smaller meals and less food in general (easy when tongue tastes like muddy penny). These all decrease the occurrences of wipe-out for me. Good luck, Tex!

              Great to hear the Pembro is still working for you. Hopefully, we will all find the right combination to attack this sleazeball of a disease. kepp on trucking!
