Immunotherapy and possible long term effects: Have you had any?

Not sure which immunotherapy she is on, I am sure not the same one. But my brother has been on tecentriq for 18 months. He does have a few issues, but for him the alternative is a very short term prognosis with a very bad actor of cancer. Is there other options for treatment for your wife? Is her doctor managing these side effects well? Do you know if they are side effects from the drug or other issues related or non-related to the cancer?

Ipilimumab (Yervoy)
Nivolumab (Opdivo)
The Doctors believe its from drugs and not the cancer but as you mentioned with your Brother, Doctors do not like the alternative prognosis. She has been on Methadone for the bone pain but has feeling so much better that she is trying to ween of the heavy drug. She's had an incredible recovery so far but she see this as a downer even though its helping her in this fight.
