          Hi Pamela,

          Just looked this up as saw you had no replies. Opdivo is Nivolumab- wish they would use one name- and blood in urine whilst on this drug can be a sign of kidney problems. 

          Would have thought you need to report this to your oncologist and get a urine test and kidney function blood tests done as soon as possible. 

          Might be something minor but ifhe needs steroidsto dealwith inflammation-better sooner than later.
