    Had stage 3b. did tumor removal off my leg. Removed all lymph nodes on my right groin. A month after I have developed Vitiglio. I have not had the treatment yet and got the Vitiglio. Has this happened to anybody. I have read people get it after the Novo treatment but I dont start that until next week.

      My husband got vitiligo with the tumor, lots of itching too.  He is stage 4 and NED at the moment, as they have just removed two tumors.  

       

      He still has a lot of itching and we are trying to figure out the next step.  It will probably be the IPI/Nivo combo.    The vititlgo and itching have kind of stumped the docs.  The surgical oncologist seems to think it is a pretty good sign.  That his body is already mounting it's own immune response.
