Immunotherapy???

My 46 yr old daughter had melanoma and had metastasized to her brain, over 30 tumors there, but also in liver, adrenal glands, lungs, pancreas, spine and various small tumors in other places

Her immunotherapy “ Opdivo” was not the right choice for her.

She had radiation on her brain and it had actually shrunk and even taken care of many tumors of the brain, so that was a great choice.

After the one any only treatment of Opdivo she had every side affect listed and passed 2 weeks later .
