          I am not an expert, but have read that IPI keeps "working" for a long time after you stop the treatments.  Definitely call your doctor but I would guess your immune system is still finding tumor cells to attack. 

          My husband just started Nivo but I did a fair amount of research on both IPI and Nivo as we were deciding what the next step,was. 

          Good Luck
