      I had 5 combo nivo/ipi starting 06/2016 and then 52 doses of nivo ending 08/2018 at which time I had been NED for 1 year. I decided to stop treatments then due to it seems they are finding out continued treatment after 1 year of NED may make no difference. I had my second set of scans last week and still NED. I will continue to get scans at 8 weeks for now. I thought side effects may taper off but I can see no change at this point and myscans did show severe increase in joint degeneration since the last scan 8 weeks ago.
