      It might yet work.
      I was stag 4 this past July. Opdivo / Yervoy made me very sick… After 1 treatment I spent around 15 days in hospital.. nausea all the time… Ugh.. Lost 45 lbs. Doctors removed the yervoy but kept me on opdivo. After steroid treatment to stabilize mw…I received 15 infusions of opdivo alone (1 every other week). After 15 infusions my scans are clear. (I had more masses than you could count!). I seemed sick, weak..like I was fading fast… Hang in there.

      How’s it going so far?
      The combo Opdivo, Yervoy made me nauseous immediately….pretty bad… but it ended-up removing all my melanoma masses.. more that I bothered to count 😉
      PS after a single combo treatment, they charged it to Optivo only, for a total of 15 infusions. …and remission. Plenty of aches and pains continue but without question – worth it!

      My numbness is fairly constant and not very bad. I can function 100% with it. Hoping the best for your treatment.
