      Has anyone had experience of an elder person taking Yervoy?  My mother had been taking Temador but her lung melanoma continued to grow so they stopped they.  She did tolerate the Temador fairly well.  I was just concerned with side effects as she was diagnosed last February with Stage IV Melanoma and hasn't really experienced any problems yet.  Thank you.
