My oncologist has decided to change my infusion from every 2 weeks to once per month which means double the dose
just wondering what to expect regarding side effects are they more severe, more of them?
has anyone else experienced this ?
Hi Allyona
I don't have the experience you're looking for but I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list again.
I hope your side effects don't get any worse
((hugs))
Hi Allyona
I have been on 480mg of Nivolumab every 28 days since February following 2 cycles of Ipilimumab and Nivolumab end of last year (after which I had colitis and therefore a break until symptoms treated).
I don't have any dramatic side effects and they seem to be holding pretty steady.
A fair few of the people I meet when having my infusions are on the same dose.
Hopefully you will be able to tolerate the revised treatment.
I can't believe that the treatment has resolved the 4 aggressive brain mets I had in 2023.
Wishing you all the best.
