    Good luck to you both

    Mattva, you may find Opdivo works very well for you as, thankfully, is has for me and others

    Best wishes to both of you

    I'm not sure how to respond, other than to say I will pray for both of you.  I'm saddened but hopeful that someone can can guide you to some good options.

    I am so sorry to hear this.

    I am praying for an adequate response for you to the Opdivo.  We have to stay positive and remember - we do not have an expiration date stamped on us - and everyone is different.  Please visualize being here for your loved ones as you fight this spread - because we have to make our own destiny.  Hugs to you my friend.

    Ipi Combo

    What about adding Ipi (Yervoy) with the Nivo? I have just been recently approved for Ipi through the BMS Patient Assistance Program. My local oncologist clinic worked with BMS and faxed the papperwork to me which I signed and returned. After insurance denial it was about a week for BMS to approve me. Also I have heard of some patients combining Cabo with Nivo or SBRT with Nivo to achieve an apscopal effect. Best of luck to you and sending prayers.

    I will ask my Oncologist

    I am staying on Opdivo until I am able to go to UCSF to discuss clinical trials.  I will have SRT on the brain mets within the next week.  Thank you for the information sledhead, I will ask my Onc about this combination.

    Prayers and Hugs!

    Bella,

         I am praying that your Dr. starts you on something else ASAP.  I will be praying that everything is going to be ok, or at least get stablized with a lot of shrinkage!

                    Love and prayers for good health!
