  • Hello bettynardy, and thank you for posting.

    I am sorry to learn of your situation. This must not be easy for you.

    I can appreciate that it can be really difficult not knowing what to expect with a new treatment, and that there is a lot of uncertainty for you.

    Hopefully, more people will post their experiences on here. You may also find it helpful to post on the living with cancer section on the forum, where more people may see your post.

    You may have already seen our information about the treatment nivolumab and possible side effects.

    In the meantime, if you would like to speak with one of our nurses on the helpline, you would be welcome to call us on 0808 800 4040, Mon -Fri between 9am and 5pm
