      Good luck your young strong and will get through it. I’m still waiting for my approval but my doctor wants me on the 10mg dose. I like to think of the preventative treatment as overkill and hopefully it’s out of your body already. Best of luck. Greg

      Good luck! I got my first Yervoy infusion a week ago and so far I've just been tired, no other side effects have come up, so I am keeping my fingers crossed it continues that way and I hope you have a similar experience of little side effects!

      All the best,
