Nausea, vomiting AFTER Opdivo therapy
After about 1 year after the last dose of
Opdivo
I struggle with almost daily nausea, vomiting and almost total lost of appetite. Doctors so far could not find reasonable explanation, cause. Except for a slight motility issue with my stomach.

I think I write too much?
And she agrees that doing the mono therapy,
Opdivo
is the way to go. She said we will continue to challenge his system with very close observation. Every week we will do blood work, and an appointment. I know Ryan will hate the hospital trip but I am glad they are keeping a close eye.

Fevers have been harsh
He has two infusions left with the combo, but if these side effects continue I’m not sure if they will stop it and just go down to
Opdivo
. Ryan has been back to work though! Which has been nice for his mental state. Getting back to normal. Scans aren’t until the end of May.

Endoscopy results and more tests to come
He cannot get the
Opdivo
while he is on such a high dose of steroids. A catch 22 right now. It’s really hard for Mark to come off the steroids. And the Dr wants him to taper very slow because of the condition of his inside tissue . I worry about him going without treatment for too long.

Immunotherapy
The yervoy
opdivo
combo has knocked a lot of people on their ass (excuse my language).. and some gnarly side effects came with it. Some couldn’t finish the 4 doses where it was combined. Afraid that if we let the guard down medication wise that we could go through a “storm” again.. just praying.

Immunotherapy for prostate cancer continues to disappoint, but at least we are learning why
I've updated this article about the importance of timing in prostate cancer therapies with the early results of the "CHECKMATE 650" clinical trial that combined nivolumab (
Opdivo
) and ipilimumab (Yervoy).

PET scan update
The clean PET scan means we can now make a safe move to the yervoy
opdivo
combo; with a clean slate. So if anything shows up we know it’s because the combo isn’t working. It’s a beautiful base to start with.

Medical Cannabis for Pain Management in Cancer
It increased quite a bit while on
Opdivo
and the Neuropathy came on after I stopped
Opdivo
. I am looking to others who may be using "Cannabis" (LEGAL) products for pain relief to for those folks to give me some ideas or recommendations of what worked best for you.

New here and my heart is heavy!
We consulted with Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa and due to the aggressive nature of this melanoma they suggested starting
Opdivo
to prevent any further recurrence. Started
Opdivo
in January. At that time my husband pointed out a lump he had on his finger to the oncologist.

Stage 3, about to start Opdivo
My doctor has suggested I do not undergo full lymphnode removal and begin
Opdivo
for a year. Has anyone used
Opdivo
? What was your experiences? How manageable were the side effects? Up until now I've led an active life.

immunotherapy combo worked in 25% of asymptomatic and minimally symptomatic patients who progressed after second-generation hormonal therapy
Really good news: The combination of nivolumab (
Opdivo
) plus ipilimumab (Yervoy) demonstrated activity in a biomarker-enriched population of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC); however, researchers need to refine the toxicity profile, said Sumit K.

Do severe air born allergies affect treatment?
Waiting for the scheduled scan and next
Opdivo
treatment, I became even more concerned about my husband and was having to push him around in a wheelchair. After the scan, the tumor started to grow again.

"In the current study, Sharma and colleagues evaluated the safety and efficacy of nivolumab (
Opdivo
, Bristol-Myers Squibb), which targets PD-1, plus ipilimumab in two cohorts of men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.
