That's awesome!

YES YES YES.....ipi fried my pituitary gland.....
to quote the MRI guy...it lite up like a xmas treee

Fever, Rash, Dry mouth, fatigue were the worst side effects Ihad from these drugs. I ended up in the ER just b/c the drugs were not working for me sadly and my liver was failing. I do now have RA from either these drugs or the targeted therapy I am now on. It is hard to tell when we are taking so many meds. I take breast cancer meds as well, so adds even more complexity. Good luck with managing your side effects. It sure is not easy, but I have faith :)

Hello Karla, I suffered several side effects, first was fever, which I just took Tylenol for it. I had night sweats for awhile, then rashes on my back and itching Dr. ordered a Vasoline type salve that helped that, now all I do is use CeraVe. Dr recommended for the dry skin I have from immunotherapy.
Lastly is inflamation in my right eye. I'm on Prednisone drops 1% for that.
So far nothing I can't handle.
I'm also taking four rounds of Immunotherapy, Opdive and Yervoi. After my forth treatment I'll stay on Yervoi for two years. Plus get a pet scan.
Thank God for the Drs. and scientists because without the immunotherapy it wouldn't be so great.
Best wishes to you Karla
I"m now a week and a half past my third infusion. I'm experiening more rash on my back and need the Vasoline prescription to keep it low key.
I don't require a visit to the ER.

I am 2 years out from my treatments with Yervoy and Opdivo. Unfortunately I had to stop after 3rd infusion of both drugs together due to colitis. I was severely dehydrated from diarrhea. But continued on with Opdivo alone for about 3 months before a few more autoimmune diseases popped up. Type 1 diabetic now, sarcoidosis, rheumatoid arthritis, vitiligo. But no sign of cancer in my body for 2 years. So I’m very thankful and can live with the other stuff. Praying for you all!
