      Nice video from fall of 2019 at ESMO, where Dr. Weber explains typical side effects caused by immunotherapy type drugs called check point inhibitors, examples are drugs like Ipi (Yervoy), Nivo (opdivo), Pembro ( keytruda) or combination of Ipi+Nivo. They call side effects IRAE’s (immune related adverse events). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37ze8NJGFhk

              Thank you from me too! Explains a lot and as much as I understand, these side effects of mine are treatable and I WILL get back on treatment. Feeling a bit better now.
