        Hi John,  Wondering if you had any updates as we are going through the, almost, same thing.  Two infusions of Yervoy/Opdivo cocktail.  103.7 4 day fevers, now they are saying his thyroid is having trouble, waiting to get an appt w/endocrinologist.  Skin rash only where clothes cover hs skin.

        Thanks in advance for any insights from this community!

          Fear is not knowing and knowledge is power!  Can you get an appointment with your regular doc and use their office to get you an expidited appiontment to a dermatologist?  I know its summer and vacations have started, but waiting 6 weeks is unacceptable.

          Be persistent!

                Thanks, I will check out the link.  I was wondering why the doctor gave him prednisone when he didn't see any sweeling of the glands and or didn't check the cortisol levels?

                  That's nice to hear the Prednisone won't impact the treatment.  Funny thing…the doc checked the MRI for any swelling of glands, didn't see any, did not check cortizol levels, said he wouldnt do that till almost the end of treatment?  but gave a one day script of the Prednisone. The up is the Prednisone made the headache disappear.  Wonder what will happen when he's off it tomorrow.
