      Thank you for responding . He did okay on Yervoy. Fatigue was the big problem but that took a while to start . I think the second round . He has slight stomache issue but it was controlled and he could finish the treatment. Just report diarreha right away so they can keep it under control. His tumors make breathing difficult anyway so we’ll have to watch closly. Thank you for the info and the encouragement. It is humbling to hear stories like yours of such courage and determantion. I will pass this in to him. He dosnt feel well enough right now but soon he will! I will be praying for you and all of the melanoma warriors. Beating the beast , God Strong.
