Has anyone taken Opdivo with Docetaxel?
My husband, recently diagnosed with Stage IV metastatic prostate cancer, has been asked to participate in a clinical trial of
Opdivo
along with chemotherapy (Docetaxel) and is concerned about side effects.

Ice therapy during chemo?
Also, my OM at Moffitt Center in Tampa has been delaying the beginning of chemotherapy while awaiting the opening of phase 2 clinical trial that will add
Opdivo
to the Docetaxel. This delay has been on-going for about two months. Should waiting this long to begin treatment be of concern?

The combination of
Opdivo
, Yervoy, and chemotherapy being available as a first line targeted therapy option gives patients more options for first line treatment. Patients are also able to stop chemotherapy after the two cycles and continue with the combination of
Opdivo
and Yervoy.

Opdivo and Yervoy combination approved for Non-small cell lung cancer
The approval of
Opdivo
(nivolumab) and Yervoy (ipilimumab) marks the first approval of combined immunotherapy treatment for NSCLC. This gives patients whose cancer does not have a targetable change a new avenue for treatment and more options than they have ever had.

A new plan
Chang in conjunction with
Opdivo
/ Yervoy with Dr. Lam. I will have 2 sessions of HDR and up to 8 sessions of
Opdivo
/Yervoy. It might be wishful thinking but I’m hoping for a cure. If not at least a durable remission.

experience with seeking insurance approval for more than one first level treatment---recent denial of a new treatment
which MD is combining with continued
Opdivo
. Question re first level treatment and insurance companies as this is a new treatment that wasn't available before. Has anyone else run into insurance denials?

Update on Nodular Melanoma
And because of that my Onc has discontinued my
Opdivo
treatments. I was able to take 7 treatments. But since I've been feeling like I was getting hepatitis again. My Onc is saying I'll probably need to be on a low dose of Prednisone for the rest of my life. Has anyone had this experience?

An immunotherapy drug called
Opdivo
- Was recommended in a second opinion appointment today. Does anyone have experience with this drug for very advanced prostate cancer when other drugs have failed? Thanking in advance for any experience with this drug.

Richter’s treatment started
Yesterday I began my Richter’s treatment journey: Nivolumab (
Opdivo
) infusion at Moffitt twice a month for two months with daily 420mg Ibrutinib. The infusion was easy and lasted in total for less than an hour. By the end of day I felt a little queasy, but feel nearly normal today.

mesothelioma - anyone tried Opdivo or Yervoy?
I read about
Opdivo
/ Yervoy immune therapy (I believe nivolumab and ipilimumab are the exact drug names), could anyone share his experience? Do you think giving him intravenous injections of glucose, vitamins, protein solutions could improve his general condition?
