@douglasfeb15, I'm tagging a few other members who have had the Opdivo (nivolumab) plus Yervoy (ipilimumab) treatment combo like @sammy15 @jimthomasintl and @max326. I'm also tagging @deek15redpeppers @panamaj @jimchardy, who have experience with renal cell carcinoma that has spread to the lungs.
Douglas, how did the first treatment go last week? When do you get the second treatment of Opdiva and Yervoy?

I would suggest you speak with Palliative Care. They are a great bridge between the physical and emotional treatments we need. The oncologists gave me a year to live 15 months ago when i started Opdivo for my PPV throat cancer. Oncologists dont like giving bad news and they don't like doing it by the spoonful because its hard for everyone. The Palliative care team were able to help with the anxiety I faced at the time-it was very helpful and combined with the right immunotherapies got me through it. My cancer is chronic and could come back but I feel one can put together the right team for ttreatment you're in the best possible position. Good luck!
