    Hello guys,

    Yesterday my girlfriend made ​​a new resonance in the head, is very concerned, now should give you the results.
    Tuesday (the day of the resonance) had some degree of fever, but the evening passed quickly.
    However, begins to be very tired at any time of day, are the effects of fotemustine or the ipilumumab? or both?

    The good news though is that three lymph nodes were visibly reduced almost disappeared.

     

    ps.
    thanks for the support you give me

      Manu,

      I'm glad to hear that your girlfriends lymph nodes have started to shrink, that sounds like she is responding.  The other day someone else posted about a fever and was also on ipilumumab. She was told by the Doctors nurse if it happened again to call immediately. I hope you have contacted the Dr. 

      Let us know what the Dr says so it can also help others.

      Linda
