Advice..please x
We don't know what he will be offered next ( keytruda is a definite no) but I wondered if anyone knows about Nivolumab (
Opdivo
) ? ...do you have to have mutations to obtain this drug? Also, no-one has mentioned brain mets to us although it appears to be common. How do they detect these mets?

It seems Ketruda and opdivo, not ippy has fewer toxicities
My son Max was in a clinical trial with ippy and
opdivo
and it destroyed his liver. https://medivizor.com/view_article/11311735?utm_campaign=website&utm_source=sendgrid.com&utm_medium=email

Clinical trial
My doctor recommends a clinical trial of
Opdivo
with an IDO inhibitor - epacadostat. Has anyone done this trial?

Opdivo Question
After this recent surgery to remove the mass (and a wedge of lung), the doc recommends
Opdivo
every two weeks for a year to possibly (hopefully) help him fight off any microscopic cells that might remain. Read about the side effects...ugh. Need to hear about the successes. Thanks for any input.

My dad recently diagnosed with NSCLC... Need help..
My hope was in the
Opdivo
/Yervoy clinical trial they were offering but was heartbroken to find out a few days ago after the PET scan that he did not qualify for the clinical trial because there wasn't a whole tumor they could safely remove, which is needed to qualify.

Melanoma treatment Keytruda in conjunction with Yervoy. Outcomes?
He then resumed
Opdivo
but the tumors showed an acceleration in size. So, Odivo was discontinued and Keytruda was initiated. After three treatment the C-scan showed a further acceleration of tumor sizes.

Opdivo and double vision
Wondering if anyone else has had vision side effects from
opdivo
treatments. I have been responding very well after 38 treatments and suddenly woke with double vision. All sorts of tests later, no stroke. maybe optical nueritis? Single vision seems to be returning gradually.

At home , but in a lot of pain
Hi all, I'm on my second round of immunotherapy which is yervoy and
opdivo
. I don't seem to be having a lot of side effects other than pretty bad pain on my right side which I think is probably my liver.

Metastasize Melanoma
They want to put me on
Opdivo
. I have read that it gives people autoimmune diseases . I already have it. I am already on palliative care and do not know if it normal routine . They say that they may just put me on the medication for 6 months. Is that the time they are giving me.
