      My Mother, who is 86, had her 1st dose of Yervoy on January 21.  She has State IV Melanoma – started at vulva and is now in her lung.  Last week she started having uncontrollable diaarhea.  She did dehydrate and is now in the hospital.  She was given steroids yesterday, but still has diaarhea and they even checked for C Diff, which was negative.  Has anyone else had this problem and if so, how was it treated?  She is to have her 2nd dose next week, but I'm thinking it will be delayed.  Thank you for any information.
