So my mum is due to start Nivolumab this Wednesday! Her oncologist thinks this is the best way forward as her most recent scan showed some slight growth in her mediastinal lymph nodes and Adrenal glands after 2 rounds of Carboplatin. The good news is that the scan did not show any new areas of the cancer spreading.
We are still hopeful that Nivolumab could work for her and are interested to hear of anyone's experience with this drug....
Thanks in advance x

I have placed a direct link below on Nivolumab from cancer research UK and what is involved, there is also a section on managing any potential side effects.
