Starting Immunotherapy- Opfivo & Yervoy. If I Start Next Week, Will I Feel Well Enough To Drive 6 Hours For My Son's Wedding On The 20th?
Prayers Your way
I only have experienced fatigue. Everyone is different. Perhaps talk more about it with your health care provider, like how long it takes to show up, etc. Go to the wedding!
Thank you for the responses....I dont want to miss the wedding, but I also don't want to delay treatment longer than I have to. The warned me about diarrhea.. lol...and that was my main concern with a 6+ hour roadtrip.
Hi Carrie, I had my first treatment with ipi/nivo 2+ weeks ago and felt pretty good.. no fatigue. Since I've been on Nivo before I "expected" to feel tired the week following the treatment... but I did not, so I think Mark may have it right about the delayed effect.
Prayers for you during this treatment
Could Anyone That Has Had Infusions With Both Drugs—Nivolumab/ipilimumab—let Me Know How Bad The Side Effects Were?
Who Has Or Is Doing Immunotherapy With Ipi/nivo (OPDIVO/yervoy)? What Has Been Your Experience?
Had Any One Experienced Any Side Effects From Immunotherapy That Involved A Visit To The Er?
