"Don’t take this drug, it only causes harm. After 4 treatments, it fried my thyroid and my adrenal glands. I’ve gone through hell for months as they try to adjust my medication. I will have to deal with this for the rest of my life. Your own immune system destroys your organs quickly."

"Stay away from this drug if you have esophageal cancer. It won’t work for you but will destroy any 'itis' you might be susceptible to. It destroyed my husband’s thyroid, and they could never get it back to normal with meds. After 9 infusions, by month 10 his esophageal cancer was back with a vengeance. Opdivo does no good for esophageal patients. Just makes things worse."
