Opdivo

Hi, I wrote a few days ago about my hubby starting a new chemo in two weeks, Docetaxel, he’s also been offered a treatment called Opdivo, I was wondering if anyone has had this or knows someone who’s had it, thanks in advance.

  • Hi Cas, 

    I've had a quick look through the forum and although I couldn't find anyone with the same diagnosis as your hubby that is having this course of treatment I have found some members - [@Andyjazzz]‍ and [@AbijS]‍ - that have experience of this for a different diagnosis that you may like to chat with and now that I've mentioned them in this post they'll hopefully be along when they can to share their experiences with you.

    Opdivo is also known as Nivolumab and we have some information about it on our website just here if you'd like to have a look but do feel free to give our cancer nurses a call if you have any questions about this course of treatment. Their freephone number is 0808 800 4040 and their lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    I hope this helps Cas and wish your hubby all the best when he starts his chemo in two weeks time.

    Kind regards,
