         I understand your frustration. I'm only on my seventh infusion and I've been battling bronchitis for three months. Miserable. But like you I find them every time they try to postpone the Keytruda.  Good luck!

               Thanks again! Excellent information! I'm going to try and get the inhaler instead of the oral steroids. They're very tough on me. But you're right, it's better then the other choices. You've been very helpful! Ty

                           That's interesting. I'm sorry for his difficulties, but thank you for sharing that with me. It's always good to know if other people are having the same troubles. Makes me feel a little less alone. I Hope he is doing well now. Thanks again.

                                 Thank you for your reply! I totally agree with everything you say. And I've asked my doctors, several of them,  about an inhaler but they just keep handing me more prednisone. Not a fan of  Prednisone!   That, and they keep redoing the same tests. The pulmonologist did mention potential asthma but I had never had it before. Of course that doesn't preclude being a possible underlying condition, as you said. So frustrated. But thank you for confirming what I was thinking.
