Marcus: My Mom, who is 86, had her melanoma start at her Vulva last November and it has spread to her lung. She was on Temador for 6 months and took her 1st dose of ipi January 21. She started having constant diarrhea last week and is now in the hospital. She was to have her 2nd dose of Ipi (Yervoy) next Monday, but I have an idea that will be postponed. It sounds like the Yervoy must be working on your Dad. I have heard really good things about the Yervoy working. My Mother is determined to continue even though she has the side effects. Good luck to your Dad.

My Mom was given that little pamphlet about Yervoy side effects. When the ambulance to her to the E.R. Sunday night I gave the information to the doctor – he barely even looked at it and gave it back to me. He gave her fluid and sent her back to the Personal Care Home. The next morning her Cancer doctor wanted to see her right away and he admitted her to the hospital.

Karen – Thank you for all this information. We live in State College, Pennsylvania and go to Mount Nittany Medical Center – Dr. Ford. The closest other hospitals to us are Geisinger and Hershey Medical Center. I do not know what they are giving my Mother, except I do know she is on Flagyl and maybe Vancomycin. She is going to have a blood transfusion tomorrow since her blood counts are down. She really has not had any pain or problems with her Stage IV Melanoma and the Temadar didn't really bother her at all (except the tumor in her lung continued to grow). I would not think they would let her take Yervoy again. She just wants to continue trying anything. I guess she feels if she doesn't, she's giving up. She will be 87 February 21. Thank you again.

Thank you SOooo much for this information. I will definitely let my mother's doctor know the name of this tomorrow. She is in the hospital, has had at least 2 doses of steroids and is on IV. They've been giving her some type of shot in her stomach to try to make her diarrhea not so watery. She was tested twice for C Diff, but Dr. Ford thinks it's from the Yervoy. Thank you again for in the information and I will let everyone know what happens.
