How Are Others Doing with Their Treatments?

Finally after Opdivo, Yervoy and Keytruda we found a drug that is working, thank God. Opdualag for stage 4 lung cancer. All 20 nodules are gone.

Wow God is good.

I start opdivo in 2 wks. Melanoma 2C. How has anyone done w side effects of that drug?

I am taking Nivolimab and Ipilimumumab for my cancer and it is working. Hoping it continues.

Opdivo came me a horrible rash that I had to take Dupixent for. That gave me a different rash and couldn’t take after 3 injections. The rash started after 7 mos of treatment. The melanoma came back k after 8 months of finished treatment. Opdualag is a new drug only for melanoma

Yes

Did my second round of Opdivo. My side effects are different both times. Feeling the fatigue more now and woke up a little sad. I went kayaking last weekend and got bumped and went around in circles. Severe back pain because of my adventures. Doctor said it's good I'm being physical but try just walking to get endorphins up. This sucks! I know I have to do the treatment if I don't want reoccurrence but I miss my hyper spaz self.

I've had 3 infusions now w Opdivo. I have some side effects fatigue, dry mouth, joint pain but it does go away. I have 9 more treatments and I'm done. My doctor's said they got it all but just in case 1 cell gets by I could get melanoma again and I don't want to go through this again.

Yes he is

This is such a thoughtful question that many in the melanoma community wonder about. Treatment experiences can vary widely from person to person, and connecting with others who understand this journey can provide valuable insight and emotional support. The community here is a great place to hear different perspectives and learn from shared experiences.

I have had one treatment of Opdivo and so far very minimal side effects , dry mouth and some stomach issues but both have passed. My next treatment is on the 23rd so hopefully things will stay the same (as far as symptoms)
