Hi Emma, I am going to be restarting novimulab after pausing due to side effects from treatments on ipi/Nivo. I've been on steroids for about 3 weeks and am scheduled to have a immunotherapy treatment on Tuesday. I'll update my post on how things progress.

Hi Emma, That sounds great! You are several steps ahead of me. I'm prepared that there might be a necessary "pause" to adjust meds. I'm hopeful that we'll find the balance between "meds".💕

Good to hear ❤️
I have started again just with single-agent nivolumab.I had two rounds then had to stop and sort things out with joints and fatigue etc. Started again and just had round three. Fingers crossed.X

Hi Emma, So far.. so good. I am feeling pretty good. I do have some minimal joint pain, but more of an annoyance than an issue....Going for my 2nd infusion of Round 2 on Monday. Hopefully this 2nd infusion goes well like the first.
