      I had just read where you can get nivo at 480mg every 4 weeks instead of 240mg every 2 weeks. I went to get my 41st treatment friday and my dr put me on the 4 week schedule which was great for me. I have been driving 5 hours round trip every other week since 06/2016. I do not feel any different from the higher dose and my dr told me I should not at this stage. 5 more treatments then we plan on stopping.

          Good for you!!!  Glad you are reaping the benefits of the change in scheduling!!!  It is unbelieveable what folks can go through to attain treatment!  I hope you continue to tolerate your remaining treatments well.  Ratties rock!!  Hang tough!  Celeste
