During my visit with my Oncologist, I mentioned that my body was heating up (not hot flashes) in the morning and afternoons and that in the morning I noticed a light sweat all over my upper body that smelled really bad. My Oncologist said that some thyroid tests would be done just to make sure that there were no problems.Unknown to me but known to the Oncologist was the fact that Opdivo can/may cause thyroid problems, especially over a long period of usage and the treatment today was my 34th of just Opdivo alone with the knowledge that I had previously had about 6 treatments of Opdivo along with Yervoy before having radiation.
The Oncologist called the house while I was driving back from the hospital and told my wife that my thyroid levels were too high and that some medicine was being called into our pharmacy. Armed with this new knowledge, I must now go through the slow process of trying to regulate my thyroid which can be a pain-in-the-ass sometimes.
