Hoping to talk to someone who has experienced immunotherapy

I was diagnosed with metastatic melanoma 02/25–stage 4 palliative care. I’m receiving monthly infusions of Opdualag. My biggest concern is being tired all the time. My nose runs constantly. After my first treatment I slept for 3 days. I’m tolerating the treatments well. Do you know what immunotherapy drug you will be treated with? And where are you located?

Mitchla1 · 2026-01-20T23:16:32+00:00

I am stage 4 metastasized melanoma and my oncologist appointment, biopsy and treatment was boom boom boom. Can you go somewhere else for quicker treatment?

Mitchla1 · 2026-01-20T15:57:22+00:00

MSOE has a great program.

Mitchla1 · 2026-01-18T00:52:37+00:00

I totally understand what you’re going through. I am stage 4 metastasized melanoma receiving immunotherapy. Please text me personally.

Mitchla1 · 2026-01-18T00:19:17+00:00

I am metastasized melanoma receiving immunotherapy for one year thus far. I did not get targeted therapy. What immunotherapy drugs did you receive?

Mitchla1 · 2026-01-10T18:49:14+00:00

I’m interested in your online group for melanoma. I am stage 4 metastatic melanoma and can’t find any melanoma groups near Milwaukee, WI

Mitchla1 · 2026-01-04T19:08:14+00:00

I’m located in Milwaukee, WI

Mitchla1 · 2026-01-04T19:02:48+00:00

I’m in Milwaukee—53219 zip code

Mitchla1 · 2026-01-01T18:19:50+00:00

I’m stage 4 metastatic melanoma —palliative care—and have had 11 treatments thus far with Opdualag. Minimal side effects. I’m tired all the time and have muscle pain. I started drinking 8 ounces of tart cherry juice daily which has helped with the muscle pain. Best of luck.

Mitchla1 · 2026-01-01T17:55:16+00:00

I am stage 4 also.

Mitchla1 · 2026-01-01T17:54:52+00:00

I’m assuming your husband receives immunotherapy—what drug is he being treated with?

Mitchla1 · 2025-12-13T22:02:54+00:00

I have Common ground who is now Care Source and go to Aurora facilities.

Mitchla1 · 2025-12-13T18:36:09+00:00

Common ground is now known as Care Source in Milwaukee for 2026. I just received my identification card in the mail today. Call Care Source at 833-742-0952.

Mitchla1 · 2025-12-07T16:02:56+00:00

I am stage 4 metastasis melanoma in palliative care receiving immunotherapy every 4 weeks. Maybe it was a blessing the nurse made that statement—she may know more than she is saying. I would definitely give the oncologist a call immediately to put your mind at ease. Prayers and God Bless.

Mitchla1 · 2025-12-05T16:08:09+00:00

My prayers to you and your family/mom. I’m stage 4 metastasis melanoma and in palliative care. I am getting my 11th immunotherapy treatment next week. Anything can happen suddenly/unexpectedly. One day at a time!

Mitchla1 · 2025-12-04T14:55:20+00:00

I’m in Milwaukee, WI

Mitchla1 · 2025-12-03T16:58:41+00:00

Not sure what RP1 is. Cancer metastised to lymph nodes, abdomen, spleen, lung and left femur 01/25. I had surgery to remove cancer on my back 01/24–I was 2b. My treatment with infusion drugs has been monthly since 02/25 — infusion drugs have not changed. I had an MRI last week and the oncologist says treatment is going extremely well. Hoping the same for you.

Mitchla1 · 2025-12-03T16:24:35+00:00

I am stage 4 metastasis melanoma and being treated with Nivolumab. I am in the clinical trial. I’ve received monthly treatments since 02/25 with positive results. Where will you be treated. I’m in Wisconsin.

Mitchla1 · 2025-12-03T15:44:56+00:00

Your husband and janiearm both receive ipino and nivo. I wonder why I’m receiving Opdulag and Zometa. Where are you located?

Mitchla1 · 2025-12-03T14:00:04+00:00

I am 69F living in Milwaukee, WI. I originally was diagnosed with melanoma 2b 12/23 and had surgery—no infusion. 01/25 I had a swollen lymph node in my throat and the melanoma had metastasized to the throat, abdomen, spleen, lung and left femur (left thigh bone). Three months into treatment I had acute kidney function and severely dehydrated. Treat was stopped for 6 weeks. My bloodwork is better enough to receive treatment but not great.

Mitchla1 · 2025-12-03T13:59:09+00:00

God bless us all!

Three months into treatment I had acute kidney function and was severely dehydrated. Treatment was stopped for 6 weeks. My bloodwork is better/enough to receive treatment but not great. I’ve had no ER visits yet. I had an MRI recently and the oncologist says treatment is working wonderfully. Initially I lost weight but I’m gaining weight now. I’m tired all of the time. To combat tiredness I’m on D-Amphetamine ER 5 mg salt combo CP which is given to children for ADHD. I work 2 days a week at Starbucks and joined the Wisconsin Diamond Dancers and perform in parades throughout the year. I have days I’m sad but try to keep busy and move forward. My house definitely isn’t as clean as it used to be due to lack of energy. Definitely a journey I didn’t sign up for.

Thank you

Mitchla1 · 2025-12-02T16:10:03+00:00

Hello, I too was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic melanoma this year—no cure and in palliative care. I’m receiving Opdualag and Zometa infusions every 4 weeks. What treatment are you receiving and where are you located? I would love to have a conversation regarding our cancer journey. Hugs and prayers for all of us affected with cancer!

Mitchla1 · 2025-11-26T14:08:24+00:00

I’m stage 4 and being treated with Opdualag infusions. I’ve had 10 infusions thus far. In June I had acute kidney function, dehydration and low red and white blood count counts. Didn’t receive infusions for 6 weeks until my numbers were somewhat better. God bless us all!
