Scared to ask
The Alastin did not work after 3 months so I was put on
Opdivo
for 4 treatments. In the meantime my pain level was off the chart and I started taking Oxycotin. The
Opdivo
didnt work and the Cancer spread to my sternum. I have lost my voice.

Are you there god it's me Laura
Chemo was really rough on me and I was moved to
opdivo
as soon as it became approved for lung cancer patients. I lost my job of 25 years because they eliminated my position. I have no doubt it was due to my illness as I was always promoted and had an excellent record.

Bummer news
So my Dad had been on
Opdivo
for a while, had a scan they felt they saw some pseudoprogression. His scan this week has shown new mets to his bone. My dad also has multiple myeloma but they are treating this new mets as if it is from the lung cancer.

Side effects of Opdivo?
Anyone have nausea/vomiting after and infusion of
Opdivo
? My father has had several treatments and the last two he seems to be having this reaction much like he did after chemo. Prior to this he had been doing well, appetite was getting better and little no nausea 🙁

FDA approved the first clinical trial of a Cuban lung-cancer vaccine.
The trial will test the CIMAvax-EGF vaccine, combined with an immunotherapy drug called
Opdivo
, which has already been approved in the United States.

Lorlatinib for ALK rearrangement
Once you are on
Opdivo
, you can only get into the trial this way. In the meantime he is failing and will not make it to the fall. Isn't there any compassionate care program for this drug?

Letters to loved ones
I recently got pneumonitis from my
opdivo
treatments in my left lung which is the better of my two lungs. The right one is only at half capacity due to the cancer. They had me in the hospital for about a week and now I am finally home to finish out my medication and steroids.

Treatment for dry eyes
Went to the eye hospital yesterday just to check everything was ok with my eye as I feel like I am looking through a mist. Basically I have to wait for my brain to adjust to this and the huge floater which is very wearing and tiring. The nurse commented on how dry my eyes are which I already knew
