Ipilummab and Nivolumab treatment for T4 metastatic renal cancer

What are people's experiences of Ipilummab and Nivolumab treatment? 

My father (70) has metastatic renal cancer spread to lymphs and 4 nodes on lung. 

With such new treatments we don't know what to expect and what his chances are. 

Thank you and best wishes.
