Levothyroxine

I started on immunotherapy (Opdivo) the end of February. Almost no side effects, except I gained twenty pounds. I thought it was from being off Tarceva after six years and not having anymore stomach issues. Maybe a bit put Opdivo blew out my thyroid. So started hormone replacement. Small price to pay.

I have been on Opdivo for nearly 3 years. Early on, I began gaining weight. Lots of it. Sure enough, my thyroid was under performing. I, too, take levothyroxine every day. And, like you said, what a small price to pay!!!

I have been on opdivo for 13 months now have had some side effects but keeping this cancer stable the side effects are ok so far i can handle it.

I'm glad you're doing well! Weight can always come off but your life is so much more important than weight gain! Keep us posted on how you're doing! -Theresa
