              My father isn't taking Keytruda, but he's on Yervoy/Opdivo and Opdivo is very similar. 

              He is also seeing a natropathic doctor and getting mineral/vitamin C drips like once a week. It seems to help with his energy to some degree. 

              My father has tried a couple integrated approaches before his current treatment. One worked for a while but ended up stalling out. 

              If you have any specific questions or curious about supplements he is taking I'd be happy to ask him.

              I don't think we've seen any obvious signs from the supplements but it never hurts…

                    Thanks so much Brian. I'm reading these all to my dad and it's really helpful. He says thanks to all of you. He's definitely going through the heavy part right now…

                          Thank you so much for this Ed. 

                          Like I said to Ashley, hearing from you guys is really helping us not get carried away and give this stuff time to do it's job. And thanks for the advice about reporitng the side effects. He's been pretty good keeping his oncologist informed and we will make sure he continues to do so. Happy holidays to you!

                                Ashley, thanks so much for this. This is really helpful and although we know nothing is a guarantee, it gives us some reassurance that things can still be working. Congrats on your success with the treatment and I'll give my dad your email in case he has any further questions. Happy holidays!
