Anyone taking Yervoy and Opdivo have issues with food tasteless or weird? Lately food has no appeal because there is no taste whatsoever. 2 more treatments to go then switching me to just the Opdivo, hope this gets better. Hope you all are doing well with your treatments!! Stay strong and don’t let the bad days win.

Taste changes are a known side effect that some patients experience with these immunotherapy treatments, and it can really affect quality of life and appetite. Many community members have shared similar experiences, and some find that taste gradually improves after treatment adjustments or completion, though everyone's response is different. Staying strong through these challenging side effects takes real courage, and connecting with others who understand this journey can make a meaningful difference.
