Hi,
I regret that you are suffering from some kind of lung carcinoma. Glad to tell you that Obdivo is a FDA(Food and Drug Administration) approved drug which are available in U.S. You mentioned that you have tumour metastasis to eyes that may be the reason you are on the drug Obdivo which is also called as Nivolumab. Nivolumab is an anticancer agent that prevents further growth and spread of tumour. Unless you are sensitive to that drug, you can get it in U.S. Hope you are satisfied with the answer. Lead a happy life.
