Hi

i I had a lump on my thigh which was diagnosed as melanoma and it had spread to my lungs. I was treated with nivolumab and ipilibumab. I lasted three sessions before I got ill and was hospitalised with colitis and then pneumonitis which I understand is not that uncommon. 

my last maintenance was last October and the immunotherapy has worked well but I have suffered with arthritis for over a year now as a result of my treatment. My question is are other people experiencing the same and are there any good news stories about it improving?

im under a rheumatologist and taking sulfasalozene
