      Looking for others going through the trail to compare notes.  Who's out there?

      For me, after the first three cycles, which would have been both Ipi and Nivo on week 1 (one of which was placebo), then Nivo on week three and Ipi on week four, I had to stop due to elevate liver functions.  That means I would have had one or the other twice before the toxicity caused me to stop.   After six weeks of steroids and the taper off, I received Nivo on week 9 and Ipi on week 10.  Of course when I say Ipi or Nivo, you can read it as "or placebo."
