        I am a caregiver to someone that just had his second dose of ipi one week ago.  Same symptoms you describe but also extreme swelling of the abdomen and blood clot. What other symptoms?  Did they get better with time?

            I am a caregiver for someone with stage 4 melanoma, he has had two doses of ipi.  Very bad side effects.  Extended bowel – had to have a colonoscopy. Had a blood clot in leg from knee to illiac that was removed.  now retains so much fluid, 25+ pounds.  Curious of others side effects.
