Yervoy (ipilimumab) for Melanoma, Metastatic "Two treatments in combination with OPDIVO, after the first treatment contracted sepsis, close to death but survived, after the second treatment (months apart), contracted colitis, a lot closer to death, told I had 2 days to live - spent 2 weeks in ICU. Six months later, regaining muscle, feeling stronger, cancer still in situ, but hopefully not life-threatening anymore, waiting on the latest PET/CT scans. Possibly keeping me alive, but it takes a toll on your body."
