Hello Leniko,

These drugs are also known as Nivolumab and Ipilimumab.

They are often used in the treatment of lung cancer.

Below I have added a link to our booklet on this type of treatment which covers the side effects.

I see you are based in the USA and have breast cancer, I have added links to breast cancer charities based in the USA

nationalbreastcancer.org/

Hope this is of some help to you

Kind regards
