I have metastasized Melanoma in colon, abdomen, and colon. I have completed double agent immunotherapy of both these drugs. My last PET scan showed undetectable cancer. It is still there just shrunk so much it doesn't show on PET scan. I am incredibly blessed and am still on Nivo every 4 weeks. I have had minimal side effects. Good luck with your treatment.

Stay positive. I am starting the second year of Opdivo treatments and my stage 4 melanoma is almost gone! Try to eat well. I lost my appetite and about 30 pounds! After about 10 mos., I Aam eating like a horse and food tastes good again. Good luck and best wishes to you on your journey! Hang in there!
