My husband’s third opdivo/yervoy was June 2017. He stopped at that point because of side effects. He still has some days when he just doesn’t feel well. One issue is he cannot stay warm. He always has a coat on or he is wrapped up in a blanket. I realize this is a minor issue compared to others (including what he has been through in the past). I’m just curious if anyone else has experienced this.

  Call his Oncologist. They will most likely respond that his symptoms sound like a thyroid issue and want to do bloodwork.
  
  Do you have access his past bloodwork from the infusions? You would want to look at his values for TSH (Thyroid stimulating hormone made by the pituitary) and Free T4 which is produced by the Thyroid.
  
  Sorry that my answer is direct. I hope that the issue is just related to the winter and not anything serious.
