        Same situation with me. I have stage 4 melanoma, major tumors have been surgically removed. After 3rd immunotherapy treatment I have been dealing with liver inflammation, higher doses of Prednison (40mg x 2) have been working but once lowered my ALT increased to around 300U/L.. and AST to 140 u/L. I have started taking Mycophenolate 1500mg x2. It has been 2 months since my last immunotherapy. My blood work has been very good except liver enzymes. Prednison side effect are getting to me, insomnia, weight gains and bloating. I hope that this month I can finish OPDIVO/YERVOY combo.
        Best wishes
