Has anyone had experience with Ipilimumab and nivolumab immunotherapy? Side effects? I start my treatment August 14 with 4 rounds 2 weeks apart.

Many community members have shared experiences with these immunotherapy treatments, and side effects can vary quite a bit from person to person. It's great that you're reaching out to connect with others who understand this journey - hearing from fellow patients who've been through similar treatments can provide valuable perspective as you prepare for your upcoming sessions.

Hi Michelle, I had my first treatment 8/5 and am going for third one on 9/2. I get ipi/nivo for the first and 4th treatments. Then just nivo for all six treatments. They are every two weeks. Only side effect I’ve had so far is a rash. So far so good. LMK how it’s going. I wish you all the best!
