      Hello all, I hope everyone has been enjoying the holiday season. I have a question  about a possible side effect from Opdivo. My husband had his 8th infusion this morning and forgot to ask his oncologist,so I thought maybe one of you could help. My husband has tiny splits in the skin on his hands. He has also had a rash on his legs, I have heard about rashes but not splitting skin. The splits are just like paper cuts.so strange. I wish you all a happy New year, I hope 2019 brings health and happiness to all.

          Happy New Year Amie and Allyn !!!!!  I did have the rashes, itching, bowel situations and also the tiny cuts that you have described. I am so happy for your family, you have been blessed with some wonderful side effect action. Something tells me that 2019 will be a splendid year for your family. May the peace be with you.
