Hi all, has anyone's family or friends been put on the drug nivolumab as I'm looking for reviews as such as to side effects and how long after treatment they start and so on.
Thanks
Hi
I don't have any experience with this drug but noticed your post hadn't had any responses.
Looking through your previous posts I can see that your husband was diagnosed with kidney cancer and I presume that this drug is being suggested as treatment. If I've got that right could I suggest that you join and post your question in the kidney cancer group as you'll then benefit from the experiences of people who are being treated for this type of cancer.
To join just click on the link I've created and then choose 'join this group' on the page that opens. You can then ask your question after selecting 'start a discussion' and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
When you have a minute it would be really useful if could pop something about your husband's journey so far into your profile as it helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Edit Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
