       the  left leg is buckling under me when I try to stand up now and I fell 4 times this weekend, need help using the bathroom now and showers are not even in the picture since I fell ccoming out last Friday. The chemo must be doing this, any one else?

          If you haven't done so already, I would put a call in to your oncologist and let them know your symptoms. Always good to be on the safe side with these kinds of things.

                I agree. I hate to say it, but brain mets may be a possibility.

                Good luck!

                      Definitely call your doc – weakness can also be a side effect of Yervoy, remember those side effects can start months later.

                      I’m so sorry you are going through this.

                                                    my  husband has had significant fatigue and leg muscle weakness like what you have since his 3rd does of Yervoy. He finished by having the 4th dose on 2/14/14. His legs will just give out on him. The oncologist won't give me a reason and I can't find much detailed info on line. I'd like to know how long the fatigue and muscle weakness might last.
