I just finished 4 rounds of Opdivo/Yervoy and now on just monthly Opdivo. Can't tell you if it's working as I haven't had another scan yet.

Hi Betty, welcome to the team. Immunotherapy is now the standard treatment for Melanoma. There are different types of immunotherapy (I.e. different drugs). Before immunotherapy was available, standard chemotherapy was used to treat melanoma but it did not work. We are fortunate now that"immunotherapy" was discovered/developed and it does work on melanoma.
