      My husband had 4 doses of 10 mg ipi as part of a clinical trial. He had "progression" which was a small mets in his liver which was treated with microwave ablation. He had no further mets and no further ipi as he was removed from the trial. He is NED. He would have chosen maintenance doses at the time if he could. Fortunately, it worked out.

      My husband had his last treatment of yervoy 10 mg in March 2014. Side effects were controlled with Imodium for diarrhea, change of diet, Benadryl and lotion for the itching. HIs skin is more sensitive in that things like sawdust make him itch. He has to use lactaid milk and cannot eat whole wheat bread.

      My husband takes a low dose antihistamine before the scan. They stopped having him take the oral contrast . He is doing much better with the reaction to the scans now.
