      After 26 treatments of Opdivo done 2 times a month, I was switched to 1 a month treatments at a higher concentration. I’ve had a tremendous response to my treatment. Was diagnosed stage 4 with disease that had spred to my lungs, liver, lumbar spine, lymph nodes, both hips, bony pelvis, soft pelvis, psoas and thigh muscles. After 15 months of treatments almost all of my tumors are completely gone and the few remaining are greatly reduced in size and exhibit extremely low activity. I was very fortunate and experienced minimal side effects from my treatment. Basically Flu Like. Fatigue, joint and muscle aches which lasted up to 7 days. I’ve only had 2 stronger treatments, but it seems like my symptoms have lasted up tp 14 days now. Not enough to knock me down, but strong enough
      to know it. A few more treatments will give me a better idea. At any rate, I only wish that every patient was fortunate to have the response and little side effects I’ve experienced. Those going thru this journey have hope. There are positive results out here.
