Hi Mat,
Had the same reaction after the first dose of Ipilimumab. Most probably due to the antihistamine that was administered before that infusion. Tiredness, a strong appetite and 24 hours later a severe fever I had so surppress with paracetamol. Next morning it was gone.

Hello everyone,
Seems like surgery is viable option.
PETCT scan from last week showed no new lesions. Known tumors in the upper leg region didn't show any signs of activity.Surgeon seems confident tumor in abdomen is resectable. Depending on actual situation after opening the abdomen he will try to locate and remove other lesions which are labeled suspect.
All in all I'm very happy with the idea that a potentially curative intervention is within reach.

Hello Sarah,
Have been on this combo for about 12 months. After 2 months severe fevers forced me to quit Dabrafenib for a week. Within 3 days (the usual wash-out time) temperatures where back to normal.
For the rest of hat year I took 1000mg paracetamol 1hour before the morning and evening dose of Dabrafenib and another 1000mg in the afternoon. In spite of the paracetamol I had to quit twice for 3 days during the last month of the inhibitor therapy.
In my case there where no dosage adjustments considered and I could very well live with the idea to keep the chemical pressure as high as possible in order to keep maximum tumorcontrol.
From what I've read about it dosage adjusment will work. Even adjusting the schedule (one day on, one day off) is a way to avoid unbearable side effects. See: http://forum.melanomainternational.org/mif/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=35295
Good luck,
Ben

Hi Ray,
Please take a look over here : http://www.melanoma.org/find-support/patient-community/mpip-melanoma-patients-information-page/jane-pattens-touted-perseus
To me this sounds to good to be true. And usually that's what it turns out to be.
I sincerely hope the god you are reffering to isn't the god I have in mind when I read about this kind of claims.
