Last Thursday was my 4th infusion. I've been tolerating Yervoy (ipi) very well with very limited side effects. Last night, I woke up in the middle of the night with the worst itching on my head and arms. I also had a small rash on my arms. My body felt like I was having an allergic reaction, so I took a benadryl and the itching and rash went away. Today, I'm experiencing a bit more rumblings in my stomach so my immune system is obviously revved up and hopefully doing what it needs to do.

This just goes to show you that symptoms don't always come on this drug. The immune system needs time to work and when it's ready, it let's you know!
