      My husband is stage 4. Had his 12th treatment of opdivo and now developed a fluid Pocket around his elbow about 3 inches from where they removed his tumor on his arm. He does not have any pain so i don’t think its bursitis. He’s had it for a week now. Any thoughts please??

          Well – if he's had his 12th Opdivo, I'm assuming he's had at least some success, so that's great.  

          As to the fluid, there's lots of possibilities and you didn't give a ton of info.  Your best bet though, is to just call your doc.  They can either treat ASAP or assuage concerns fairly quickly.  

          Good luck – Justin
