My wife is on immunotherapy for a metastatic melanoma in her lungs. Monthly she has a transfusion of two drugs, Yervoy and Opdivo.
After three sessions her cancer has shrunk. However, she has debilitating headaches and nausea. She says if an extended life continues like this, she’s not interested.
She has an appointment on Monday to discuss her options.
Addition to my post at 37:
The insurance company is charged $150,000 per session. Of that, $148,000 is for the two drugs. Together the two drugs might total a pint of fluid. Liquid gold.
I used Zofan for Nausea...worked great! Hope she finds relief very soon!
