    Has anyone experienced hot flashes on ipi/Yervoy?  Mine started today and just wanted to know if this happened to anyone else. I have my 4th infusion next week.

    Thanks,

    Lisa

      So far, just some flu-like aches and a tiny bit of diarrhea…but then, I have only had one infusion. Next one coming up Oct. 17th.

      Yes, I had hot flashes probably starting after the 2nd infusion. I was on Ipi from 3/08-10/08.

      God Bless,
