    Hi all and a very happy pre – New Years to each of you. 

    Does anyone know if I can safely take these two together? Nutritionist really wants me on the curcumin. I will ask my oncologist at my next appointment but I wanted to know if anyone knows earlier than that.

    Thanks!

      Cindy, I was on the Yervoy / Opdivo clinical trial. I was told by my onc not to take any supplements. Not being on a trial might lead to a much different answer.

      Cindy, for reasons that I will not divulge, I strongly agree with your nutritionist.

      Cindy, my nurse practioner in the integrative medicine department recommends curcumin to me while I'm on Opdivo/Nivo.
