And “if” it even subsides..and ill have my first CT Scan to see my progress! Sept 17th!! (i believe) fingers crossed…

      Good luck Mike, sorry about the delay, hope your knees recover soon and that its nothing serious. Four weeks ago i had terrible muscle ache and the pain reached 5/10 so had to see a doctor – but since then it fell back to 2/10.hope same happens for you. Will you do the ct scan on the same day of your appointment – i do it earlier to reduce the stress. Good luck mark

      Hey Mike,

      I don’t post a lot anymore but I try to read posts. You’re a pretty cool dude! Once all that Yervoy got out of my system, life was a lot easier. Opdivo, for me, was a breeze. I hope the same is true for you.
