Opdivo side effects
I have finished radiation treatment for metastisized HPV16 positive throat cancer. Spread to the lungs. Next treatment step for me is Optivo. Has anyone taken Opdivo. What were your side effects? How effective was Opdivo on your cancer.

shirley,
I didn't take Opdivo - but I noticed a thread on the Lung Cancer discussion that may help you.
I wish you the best possible result with your treatment!

Opdivo effects update
Had first Opdivo infusion yesterday for HPV16 throat cancer that metastisized to lungs. Some fever at the end of the day but basically no real side effects yet. In case somehow experiences this treatment. I will have three infusions, every four weeks, then we will complete a scan to see effectiveness. Nice to finally have a treatment with hardly any side-effects.

I'm glad to hear that the side effects are minimal - and I hope your treatment is totally successful!
