      I have been 18 months NED and 6 months since my last nivo.  Getting my port removed in a couple of weeks and moving scans to 3 months now. Side effects have not gone away but better them than melanoma.

              Congratulations!  Wishing you a lifetime more of NED! Glad the side effects are at least bearable.

                  I too finished a clincial trial of Opdivo (or Opdivo & Yervoy combo) back in August.  So happy to NED.  But does anyone know how long it takes for the side effects to dissipate?  I had to go on prednisone about 6 months into the treatment due to extreme bone & joint pain.  I tried to go off the prednisone but the pain returned just as bad as it was before, so I had to go back on it.  Don't get me wrong, I am thrilled to be NED.  Just want to know what to expect.
