        I finished the four yervoy infusions in February with mild fatigue and diarrhea .. Afterward the fatigue began to slowly worsen, and my speech and memory were affected. Turns out my immune system attached my pituitary gland swelling it (it's in the brain) which caused the speech/memory problem. But it also stopped providing the normal steroids and that caused the incredible fatigue. Oral steroids brought the levels back up and I feel great.

         

        Scans shows diminished tumors so all is well so far.
