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.

Opdivo

My Husband was Diagnosed 7/17 with Advanced Stage IV Metastatic Melanoma
He was started on
Opdivo
/Yervoy, but after 2 treatments he couldn’t handle the treatment and was put on just
Opdivo
, and this still wasn’t working. He was hospitalized 3 times for a week each and his kidneys were failing, rapid weight loss, couldn’t eat.

After NHL and BMT
Started using
Opdivo
in March 2018 and recently scans show NED. We’re currently working on nutrition and strength in order to go to stem cell transplant. Anyone have experience with stem cell or bone marrow transplant and life after?

Immunotherapy drug that worked for me
I think the biggest difference with this drug and
opdivo
and keytruda is that Imfinzi is only for NSCLC that has NOT spread outside the lungs. I’m pretty sure
opdivo
and keytruda are specifically for LC that HAS spread. At least now there’s an option for both.

My husband could benefit from some prayers
He was started on
Opdivo
but since has developed 5 new areas one near collar bone, another in lung and 3 in the stomach.
Opdivo
was stopped and he was started on Navelbine 3 weeks ago. He started with a 104 temp this past Friday and I took him to the ER.

New to group
She started on
Opdivo
, then they added Yervoy. Her cancer continued to spread so we stopped Yervoy and added Taf/Mek, and she’s in her 5th week. Meanwhile she continues to get
Opdivo
every 3 weeks. Her last MRI last week showed tumor shrinkage in her brain and hope has been restored.

Opdivo
Wondering if anyone else has had
opdivo
attack their lungs. After being on it for just 2 months I started feeling short of breath. Saw my primary care they told me everything sounded good. Saw my oncologist about a month later for routine scans and the
opdivo
had made my lungs swell tremendously.

Anyone familiar with Navelbine?
Has been on
Opdivo
for one year since June 2017. Test results yesterday showed 5 new areas and
Opdivo
was discontinued. He will begin Navelbine. I have read about it but sometimes it helps to hear from others and their life experiences.

Astaxanthin - A new video from a merchant which sells a version of this supplement which has amazing claims
In the video, the presenter compares the product to a combination of
Opdivo
/Keytruda, but without the side effects. I would be interested to hear from the smarter guys on this forum, to see what others think about it. It seems to good to be true. Cheers Paul.

Anxiety!
My husband started treatment with
Opdivo
about 3 months ago. He progressed from stage 3 to 4 in May. He has one lung tumor. We go to MD Anderson August second for his first scans since starting treatment and I am terrified! I am so afraid the immunotherapy isn't working, what if he has more tumors?

Whole brain radation pros and cons
I'm 55 years old with stage 4 lung cancer. just started
Opdivo
but doctor says I need this procedure as well . Infinzi was denied by insurance unfortunately. I had 8 chemo and 30 lung radation sessions and tolerated both well. Thanks all !

Side effects on Opdivo
Opdivo
... since this time he has horrible mouth lesions and numerous skin cancers that have suddenly appeared on his arms, feet, and head. Has anyone else experienced similar side effects? He finally got to tasting food but now his mouth is so sore and bleeds so easily he has trouble eating!
