Two Treatment Tuesday

Yesterday I started the dual treatment combination of Opdivo and Yervoy. It took a while to administer as the infusions aren't simultaneously given. Also I had a liter of saline infused before, so that added roughly an hour to the time. (8:30 am - 1:30 pm.)

I've not experienced any side effects other than a single diarrheal movement, and I'm hopeful that will be well controlled with Imodium. It's usually been just a few days of that after previously being treated with Opdivo. 

The amount of that drug is reduced somewhat in the combination but the Yervoy is the same amount.

One nice tidbit, I just learned is both Opdivo and Yervoy are produced by Bristol Myers Squibb (how'd you like Squibb for a surname,) so the officially publicized idea to combine the two coming at the same time Opdivo was FDA approved makes more sense now.

Hopefully this will give me some solid results, and I'll keep updates coming.
