    Today I did my fourth infusion of Yervoy so I wiill see what side effects I get from this one. My  Cancer Doctor told me I'll be off it for the 3 month period. He wasn't in today so I go back in two weeks to see him and find out lab results and what else is in store for me.

      Congrats on getting to #4! Will you be doing the every 3 month maintenance doses as well?

      Hope side effects aren't too bad after this one.

        My Cancer Doctor has me diagnosed as Melanoma stage 3B Cutaneous. My Doctor has always just said stage 3. So far, no side effects from 4th infusion a week ago. I do lab work in August and start Yervoy again in September. Steve

        So it sounds like you will be doing maintenance doses then, like what I am doing. My second maintenance dose is end of August. Hope you're doing well.

      The 4th dose of the 10mg. is when my Pituitary went to hell,  be very,very careful if you begin to feel lethargic, and my blood pressure began to drop from its normal range.  Good luck

        I am still having on going side effects from the 3rd infusion with dizziness and memory loss. I hope these will go away. I am my Cancer Specialists first Yervoy patient, so we are learning together.
