Yes on prednisolone

Had to go onto steroids because of the diarrhea

My bowel became very inflamed

Can't help you on dose of Yervoy.I just don't know

Perhaps I should be asking more questions

But over the last months I have tolerated  it very well

All my kidney and blood counts have been normal

I would love to know when the bowel will get back to normal but that could take some time yet.

My next scan will be end of August

That ,I hope will let me know if it's been all with while

But positive thinking, and good look! X

Hi

I have just finished my treatment on Yervoy,(ipilimumab)

Infusion over 90 mins,every 3 weeks for 4 sessions

I sailed through it

But unfortunately ended up having chronic diarrhea,had  to go into hospital since twice

since for rehydration and a course of steroids

I am still on steroids , reducing  slowly

Have been told this is the biggest problem

But we are not all the same,hope this helps

Never gave it a thought

I have been scanned every 3 months since reaching stage 4.

Didn't know I was at this stage till Nov 2012

Since the ipilimumab treatment they have tried to scan after a month

But unfortunately due to the chronic diarrhea from the treatment it took 6 weeks before I could have scan

But for me I would say every 3 months

Don't they need that kind of gap to see any changes
