        Thanks Linda and you are right about different AEs for different people.  My Onc also has never seen in other patients the symptoms I have experienced although Pembro is still relatively new.  Best of luck to you as well.

          Thank you, Celeste and the rest of you for your insights.  It sounds like it may just be a matter of convincing ourselves from the outset that we will not allow the cancer or the treatment to prevent us from living our normal daily lives.  I consider myself fortunate for getting into the Keytruda trial arm instead of the Yervoy/Interferon arm.  Heard some nasty things about those two.  Take care.
