        Hi Kerri,

        My wife was diagnosed Stage IV in June 2015. She began with the ipi/ nivo  combo- 3 doses, she was scheduled for 4 doses every two weeks but ultimately the side effects limited the total to 3 and increased the duration an extra month. She has been getting the Novilumab on a two week cycle now for about a year with tremendous results. She also had a successful Gamma Knife procedure after New Years. Though the side effects of the ipi/ nivo combo were rough we couldn't be happier with the way everything is going. Best of luck!
