Wish I can tell you what next. But I can share what Yervoy did for my husbands brain mets…19 of them. All either gone or insignificant.  Gamma Knife Rad clearly stated it was the Yervoy not the gamma that did it. Unfortunately, Yervoy has not been successful in his body. But we know now from this that Yervoy DID pass the blood brain barrier with success.

Sending prayers your way that you are a late IPI responder. It was the same consensus for my husband that he was a non-responder. But Yervoy did indeed crush the 19 brain lesions.  Praying for you and him that the body responds as well. Have a wonderful weekend Tracy.

Yes my husband finished up Yervoy on July 15.  After treatment number 3, he began feeling what he called "achy" and continues to feel weak, achy and stiff. So far we have seen miraculous results from the Yervoy in the disappearance and considerable shrinkage of his brain mets!!!!  Praise the Lord!!!! His body however is a different story. He has numerous sub'qs. And I mean numerous…(based on my mintoring these seemed to have appeared shortly after Yervoy treatment 3. I cannot say for sure if it is an immune response from the Yervoy or if its the cancer being aggressive.) We will not know until his 12 and 16 week scans. But yes to answer you question , my husband is having various aches and pains. 1 in his right gluteal of which the pain is very excrutiating. MRI did show a mass in his LEFT glute but a small tiny mass in his RIGHT..the one causing the most pain.  I want to post all side effects from Yerovy on this site but I cannot truly say (can anyone really?) that these are side effects of the Yervoy or actions of the cancer itself.

My husband had no downtime from the Gamma (Other then the days of the treatment). He was back to work the next day after each treatment.
