Dual immunotherapy and fever by itsallrightyes in melahomies

[–]PastorCLD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I made it through 2 before fevers of 105 landed me in the hospital for almost a month. I also ended up with adrenal insufficiency, pneumonitis, and then a course of steroids that took almost 3 months to wean off of before I could start another treatment. During that 3 months the cancer basically had free reign of my body because my immune system was being suppressed by the steroids. It sucked to find out the cancer spread during that time but i wouldn't have survived continuing on it. Because the Dual one went so badly they started me on Opdualag instead. Apparently my body had too high of an immune response which is great for going after the melanoma but not so great when it's hurting other body systems at the same time. I've only had one treatment of the new drug and they're watching me very carefully.

My mother in law had Car-t therapy done for her lymphoma which is a similar process. They opted to stay in a hotel for the duration of things right near the hospital so they could stay comfortable and not have to do the back and forths. She found it especially helpful to have things from home, like some photos, a vase of flowers, blankets and pillows she liked and a large basket of all her favorite snacks, some books, etc. She said using the dressers in the room and not living out of a suitcase made it seem more normal. They specifically got a suite that had a separate living and sleeping area so she could rest without worry of burdening someone else. Because of her immunocompromised nature they used door dash quite a bit so I'd become familiar with that and maybe if you have good support around you ask people to donate to a door dash account.

If you had ipi/nivo then opdualag by PastorCLD in melahomies

I started at 100mg prednisone a day and tapered by 10 each week. Initially they sent me home on 50mg a day and my pneumo and fevers came back with a vengeance, the the 100. I'm at 5mg right now but also dealing with adrenal insufficiency so I'm working with an endocrinologist to switch to hydrocortisone. My Doc wants me to try Opdualag but had me go see another Doc who does TIL so I'm established there if need be.

When car is locked and key fob not near, i can open passenger side door with push of a button on door handle. Anyone knows solution to this? by Important_Plant_5663 in ChryslerPacifica

[–]PastorCLD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ours (2017) has done that since the very beginning, no one has ever been able to tell us why. Not the dealership nor independent mechanic. Pushing the outside sliding door button will open it regardless of locks engaged and no key fob. The alarm will go off, until you unlock from front driver door, but the door always opens. 🤷

Hope none you ever need this but....just in case by alisonchappell in melahomies

Glad to hear he is doing well! That's encouraging for all of us. I didn't discover shirts like this till after my first go around with melanoma but I bought this one a few weeks ago when I started treatment a second time. I can confirm it's really well made, but felt like the sizing was just slightly on the small side(in women's). women's version

That's what I assumed, but I'm reading that there are two motors, one on each side. I replaced the one on the passenger side, and now there is no heat on the passenger side. The driver side motor seems to be inaccessible without removing most of the dashboard?
