Ipilimumab plus Nivolumab vs Pembrolizumab plus Axitinib

Posted by ronc531 @ronc531, Mar 11 5:27pm

My doctor is recommending Ipilimumab and Nivolumab or Pembrolizumab and Axitinib.

Anyone use either of these treatments before?

Side effects?

how well did they work?

I'm tagging a few other members @sammy15 @jimthomasintl @rtw1268 @nang and @max326who have had treatment with Opdivo (nivolumab) plus Yervoy (ipilimumab) or axitinib (Inlyta) plus pembrolizumab (Keytruda) to share their experiences

@ronc531, which treatment combo did you and your oncologist decide to try? How are you doing?

Thanks Colleen,

We went with Ipilimumab and Nivolumab. It seemed like the best choice for me.

Had my first treatment Thursday, it went well. feeling fatigue, itchy, a lot of joint pain, and stomach issues. only got sick once last night but was up all night. Had a little blood in my vomit but just a pea size at the end. Nothing the rest of the day.

the side effects seem to get stronger as time goes by which sounds right.
