    Providing an update for my mom and seeing if someone on this board xpereinced this. After 3 rounds of ipi/nivo my mom has been in ER multiple times with 3-4 day stays each time. Finally getting diagnosed with acute cholecystitis from an Ultrasound. Only change in one of her tumours is going from 1 cm to 4cm after 3 infusions and then reducing to 3.8cm 3 weeks after third infusion. She has no energy to be by herself. Only distance she can walk is from bedroom to bathroom. Lost 20 pounds in 4 weeks . She was a very healthy person before the last infusion on Nov 9. Please pray the medicine is doing something for her as she is going through alot these days. Anyone else experienced here cholecystitis ?

      I haven’t experienced that, but it sounds to me like she was having pseudo progression with her tumours, and now that’s over. If so, that would be wonderful! She’s had such a hard time, maybe it’s all going to start working really well now.
