                I had a neck dissection in Feb and started interferon in April..I didn't have any side effects but some fatigue but it didn't work for me and now i'm doing my last dose of Yervoy on the 13th..Drink lot's and lot's of water and i drank V-8 juice to get my veggie intake a day and also drank nutritional drinks…Keep ibuprophen on hand and benedryl..They had me take both before each treatment…Good luck, i hope it works for you..I'm stage 3 C
