        I am happy to read that so many of you have had few side effects. That is great. Unfortunately that is not the case with my husband. He has melanoma stage 3c in the lymph glands under his left arm and one in his clavical. There was never a primary site. It just appeared. He was thouroughly checked by a good dermatologist. Extreme fatigue, pain and swelling of the joints, nausea, dizziness, short of breath. weakness, swelling of his left arm and face, eyes and nose tearing and running constantly, flu like sysmptons, rashes and now the final straw his eyes. Things disappearing as he is looking at them, cones of bright colors, light flashing and on iit goes. They stopped the keytruda and have ordered an MRI and Cat scan. Don't know where we go from here.
