HI there, I have been on Opdivo since 7/2013. I began it through a clinical trial. Since I have been getting it, the worst side effect is that my thyroid quit working right. I just take a pill every day for that. I am somewhat fatigued on the day of and the day after a treatment - nothing like I experienced with chemo. Some friends have had rashes and some nausea. I have had neither. When I began Opdivo, there was little hope for me. Since I started, my tumors have remained completely stable. (They have NOT gone away, though the radiologist often references them.as scars). I go every two weeks for the hour long infusion. Good luck.

HI there, The only question I can answer is about Opdivo. I started getting Opdivo through a clinical trial in 7/2013. I will be getting my 70+ infusion today (I lose track of how many biweekly infusions I have had!). The only side effect I have had is a thyroid that quit working properly. It has been easy to control with a daily medication. Unlike many, I have no aches and pains or rashes. I will be fatigued the day of and the following day after an infusion. I am not so tired, however, that I can't make myself do whatever I really want to do. Some people apparently have diarrhea. I haven't had that either. Good luck!
