What side effects should I expect from Opdivo and Yervoy combination?

I was on Opdivo for over a year but not the Keytruda. With the Opdivo the only side effect I experienced early on was itchy skin . It was more annoying than anything and the Dermatologist put me on some cream that helped but it did subside after a couple months. Other than that I really did not have any side effects. It seemed pretty effective in reducing the spot on my vertebrae but I also had radiation as well so hard to tell which one was more effective. They have me on Opdualag now and hoping have same luck with the side effects. Wishing you the best with your treatments

Side effects from this combination can vary widely from person to person, with some experiencing fatigue, skin changes, or digestive issues, while others may have minimal effects. Many community members find it helpful to connect with others who have been on similar treatment plans to share experiences and tips for managing any effects that may arise - hopefully you'll hear from some folks here who can offer their perspectives on this treatment combination.

That's such helpful advice about how side effects vary so much between people - I'd also suggest keeping a little journal of how you're feeling day by day, as it can really help you and your team spot patterns and manage things proactively.

Great advice Peggy. Thank you!!
