  Hi Cristinad,
  
  Thanks so much for your reply, and congratulations on completing the 4 opdivo/yervoy treatments! We are in constant touch with our oncology team and they are reassuring us the fatigue is a side effect from the opdivo/yervoy combination, and not a major reason for concern. Despite this, I originally thought it would not mean sleeping 6 to 9 hours over the day, and eating almost nothing.
  
  May I ask how long you have been on the nivo (opdivo) maintenance phase? And has that been ‘easier’ to manage, fatigue- and appetite-wise, than the combination of opdivo and yervoy?
  
  Thanks so much again for your reply and I wish you all the best!
