        Hi Erin, hope you are doing well! My mom has vulvar melanoma and began keytruda in late October with second dose in November. She has an autoimmune disease and COPD which may have contributed to her pneumonia in December. She is still in the hospital trying to gain strength to keep fighting. Keytruda may have been hard for her to manage but sounds like many others are having some success with it. And I hope you find great results! Know there are others fighting a similar form of this mean melanoma and we are all cheering you on!!!!!
