Members confirmed that two years of immunotherapy maintenance after initial chemotherapy is now standard treatment for advanced or recurrent endometrial and ovarian cancers, with several sharing they received Keytruda, Jemperli, or similar drugs following six rounds of combination chemotherapy. Many members described positive outcomes, including one member who became cancer-free after just one year of immunotherapy and another who completed the full two years with no evidence of disease, though some noted their treatment was stopped early due to side effects like joint pain or because the therapy was no longer effective at controlling cancer growth. A recurring theme was that doctors typically present three possible timelines: continuing for the full two years, stopping if it becomes ineffective, or discontinuing if side effects become intolerable, with members emphasizing the importance of monitoring progress through scans and being prepared to adjust the plan as needed.

Yes, they told me two years. I was only on for one year because the immunotherapy worked. I was able to have the operation to remove the cancer. I was stage 4 but now I’m three years cancer free.

ProfT. I was given the same 3 options. I have 4 spots left from my metastic diagnosis/surgery. They are still here after 6 rounds of chemo/immunotherapy. In my gut I know immunotherapy alone won't work like the radiation didn't at stage 2 or the treatment I completed at stage 4b. We'll see how far I get with immunotherapy.

My doctor wanted me to do two years of maintenance therapy with Keytruda. I had stage 1A initially but later recurrent metastatic with a stage 4 tumor and pelvic lymph node. Like you I had six treatments of carboplatin, paclitaxel, and Keytruda.

Hi Karen, I started Jemperli with chemo and my Dr said 2-3 years but would monitor and could be closer to 2 years. This was also based on the results of the Ruby study for advanced or recurrence. I have grade 3 stage 3C1. I hope it goes well for you ❤️
