Hi everyone, hoping to learn more about side effects, I may have an unusual situation.    59 year old Male never had any cancer symptoms  2.5cm tumor in right lung.  Keytruda for 12 weeks and tumor shrunk to 1.5 cm.  Very little side effects until about the 19th week.  All of a sudden I got extreme fatigue, extreme body aches and weakness and swollen feet. Also several other side effects.  After a few days I could move around but still can’t do much.  Dr acts like he has never heard of side effects and wants me to just deal with it.  Any advice would be appreciated.  Thanks!   ...
