    Sorry I didn't post this sooner. It sounded like if your dad gets a little better he might be well enough to travel.

    If so it seems to be getting more difficult for us non naieve patients to have a decent trial. There is one in Oregon so some distance from San Francisco but if he's up to it might be worth it. It combines Opdivo pd1 with anti-lag-3. I've been trying to get into it in Chicago since November but my body has kept failing me but I'm still trying to get good enough for it.

      Thank you, Artie — that's really sweet of you! My dad is very much a homebody and complains the whole 1.5 hour drive to San Francisco, so I can only imagine what he'd say about flights to Portland! :-p 

      They've actually put in an order for Opdivo now that he's pretty much recovered from his hospital stay, and we have an appointment next week with a radiation oncologist to see if there's anything they can do with the tumors on his leg.

      His doctor in San Francisco said either Nivo…or start hospice. Not a happy time.
