My husband Jon (Stage 4 melanoma diagnosed last spring) has a new lesion on his right kidney and 2 other spots that have increased in size (right deltoid muscle and 8th rib) as shown on PET scan this past Friday. He developed toxicity to Keytruda last fall so had to discontinue. Our oncologist said he'd probably put him on Yervoy if new spots showed up on this PET. We meet with him tomorrow. I've heard that side effects can be pretty rough on Yervoy and just wondered what anybody else's experience has been with it. Keytruda gave him a lot of joint pain and overall fatigue. I'm wondering if side effects from Yervoy will be worse than Keytruda and if we may need to take him out of work. Any insight will be appreciated. Thanks!
