Jeff, there is no need to apologize or to thank me for throwing in my five cents' worth. I was so glad to hear you got approval for Opdivo and hope you will start soon. I stay on the forum because I personally learned so much from everyone and it is my way of paying it forward. I care because head and neck cancer is still fairly rare compared to the major cancers and there is not so much awareness of it. But the damage it does can be major as you and I have both found out.

Wishing you a speedy resolution for your jaw problems so that you can get started on Opdivo.
