      Hi 

      had a local recurrence in lymph node after 9 years NED with stage 3C.  Decided to do monthly nivo for one year.  I  felt a little tired after first treatment but after two weeks developed pretty bad diarrhea.  Doctor postponed second infusion and prescribed five days steroids    Had second infusion last week and now starting diarrhea again otherwise feeling ok   My question is has anyone had this experience on Nivo?  Is it normal?  My doctor not sure I should continue out of fear of colitis and perforation    Thank you

      Cindy
