      Hi guys,

      First time posting but I've been lurking since I was diagnosed in April. Just wanted to share some good news. I was slated to start Ipi on Friday. My oncologist saw the press release about the ipi/nivo adjuvant study and asked my insurance if they would cover the nivo, and they said YES! I can't beleive it and I hope this can help some of you stay away from ipi if possible.

          Interesting. Wonder if they would have allowed you to get Nivo by itself, assuming you had a negative reaction to the combo. Good luck!!
