      Quick query…was on ipi/nivo 2 yrs (last infusion 12.2015) and up to last scan, remain NED…had low tumor burdent with nodules in lungs only…scans every 3 months (last 8.22.16)…did experience hypophysitis/adrenal insufficiency after ipi portion completed so on pred every day…blood work showed expected increase in %neuts; WBC has been high normal; as has Calcium; total protein…HOWEVER, since last scan and blood work, my neut % is way back down to pre-treatment/steroid levels; CA and total protein are low, WBC is back to pre-treatment, low levels; eosinophils really elevated for me, to 4 (had run .3 thereabouts for 2 yrs)…waiting for 'answers' but has anyone else experienced fairly significant changes in some of these areas?

      Thank you so much…
