Stage 4 melanoma and treated with imtherapy for 15 months. Be prepared for a rough ride. I know that not all get all side effects but for me it’s been probably all. But at the end of the day cancer is decreasing. Good luck and all the best from Sweden.

It's quite literally saved my life & I'll be forever grateful to the researchers. I had a very aggressive stage 4 metastatic melanoma diagnosis 2 years ago, with 8 tumours through my body, including 3 on the brain. Within 3 months of immunotherapy they had all reduced by 70% & I was in remission after 6 months. I've since been told I was very lucky to get such a good result so quickly, but also that my positive attitude helped my immune system to fight. I'm still having treatment but if my latest PET scan is still clear my oncologist will decide if I can stop taking it. My husband died of the exact same diagnosis 20 years ago because there wasn't anything for it then so I know how lucky I am.

Thank you Sharon for making this video. I am 67 and was diagnosed with stage four melanoma and started immunotherapy in December. After two treatments my liver enzymes skyrocketed over 1000 from the normal 1-40 range. After taking steroids the enzymes were normal and I started back with a newer immunotherapy. You have given me more hope and I am very encouraged. Thank you so very much. Blessings to you sister.

Hi Sharon the first treatment I got was OPDIVO® (nivolumab) a prescription medicine used in combination with YERVOY® (ipilimumab) As mentioned I had severe side effects of elevated liver enzymes and had to be on a long term of steroids to bring it down. The steroids brought it down well enough in two weeks to allow me to start taking the newer immunotherapy called opdualag. I will wean off of the steroids next week and have a second treatment of Opdualag. Bloodwork is always checked before treatment to check for side effects. I’m hoping and praying that God will use this to heal me and give me more years to live and serve Him. I had a port installed this week after the first one got infected. I realize we live in a fallen world and that every day is a gift. We all have an appointment with the Lord. Thanks for sharing your story and reaching out to others.

God Bless You !!!!!!!! Stay HEALTHY and safe. I have Squamous Cell Carcinoma from my service at ground Zero when I was a cop. I too are being treated at Sloan Kettering. I had my first treatments (radiation and chemo) I thought I was in the clear (this is throat cancer) but I had a "new" cancer base of tongue in November. I had a total laryngectomy in February and there was the markers and some left that they could not get surgically. My doctor started me on immunotherapy and had my first treatment last week. Other than fatigue knock on wood that is the only side effect. I go back in two weeks and I feel confident this will work. It is a total life altering experience. Thank you for the confident words and video.

I was diagnosed stage 4 Dec. 2020. Started Opdivo and Yervoy. After the second session I had the worst autoimmune response oncologist had ever seen. Ended up in the ER where i almost died. Even though my cancer is in remission I would not do immunotherapy again. Spent months in the hospital and rehab. Went from 207 to 136lbs. Im still battling complications from my experience. Bad anemia and needing iron infusions, lost a section of my intestines and was on a bag for a year. So be warned if you choose this treatment the side effects can be severe and possibly fatal. Its not all smiles and laughing like in the commercials.

As a person that has been receiving Opdive and Yervoy for the last 6 months and having also had serious side effects I am still glad that I have not had traditional Chemo and Radiation or surgery. The bottom line is Cancer is a very deadly disease and no matter what treatment very few people with stage 3 or 4 cancer escapes significant negative side effects from the treatment that is used to try to stop the cancers spread and growth.

Keytruda for me. NSCLC adenocarcinoma. The tumor in my right lung went from 35 mm down to 6 mm in just after 2 treatments. I'm at 5 treatments now and it gone. There's still the one in my left lung that's a bit stubborn. But at least it went from 12 mm down to 8 mm. That one did not light up in the PET scan. Nevertheless, I'm living a better quality of life as compared to receiving chemo. And the side affect are almost nothing.

Stopped treatment. It was the worst treatment for me and I would advise to let people know it will either give you AMAZING results and SHORTEN YOUR LIFE CONSIDERABLY. it's a 50/50 chance... Ask your oncologist to have your markers pulled from all biopsies for comparison because cancer changes and mutates...pull, blood work and general case file ask him to have you complete case reviewed by his peers and ask him for the finding before committing....I wish I had.
