      I am new to the board, but have been checking it out for a few months. My mom (66 years old) is Stage 4 with 4.7 cm tibia tumor plus liver tumor along with iliac node tumors. She just completed her 4th ipi (10mg) infusion on Oct 5th . She has had signifigantmuscle weakness that has affected both upper and lower extremities. This makes everything just so much more difficult due to her tibia fracture due to tumor inlet. Anyone else have this happen? I am moving her to Atlanta to live with us because she can no longer care for herself.

Her side effects up until now have been manageable (grade 2 itch and rash), both sporadic and taken care of with benadryl. PS, she is in the midst of her scans and we get results Wednesday afternoon.
