Managing side effects from Opdivo can feel overwhelming, but many community members find that staying in close contact with their healthcare team and preparing for potential effects helps them feel more in control. The adjustment period after surgery and before starting treatment brings up so many emotions, and sharing experiences with others who understand this journey can provide valuable support and practical tips.

I took up Opdivo for a year and a half with minimal side effects. It was for kidney cancer, but the same drug. I hope you have the same great results with Opdivo that I did. Good luck on your journey.
