Deb, we know that George is doing good because Lynette told us about it in her personal message, I do not think she updated his status anywhere here.
so I can do it for her:
After he had very few, may be 5 doses of Keytruda more than two years ago, he is doing very well with no new mets and not anything suggestive of the old active mets on the scans - may be scars.
To trigger the effect of Keytruda, he had a cryoablation to the kidney and adrenal gland mets first and had the first injection about 4 days later.
He does not get heart MRI though as there is a metal hardware in his arm (broken in place of an old ASPS met?) so they used an echo and his heart looks all good on it, no concerns.
