    Greetings Friends,

    Yesterday I saw the Rock Star and did the "paper work" and body work (blood, ekg, and pee in a cup) to join INCB 39110-17.  I'll have to have scans again but provided lung tumor is still there (short of a miracle, there's no reason it wouldn't be) I'll start Day 1 Cycle 1 next Wed- Phew!  Maybe this roller coaster ride is coming to a full and complete stop or at least maybe slow down a little.

    I don't know if I'm on the JAC1 or PI3-k arm, but either way I'll get it a drug with Pembo and I've responded Pembro well in the past. So I'm hopeful.

    Meanwhile I'm tired.  All the hurry up and wait has been stressful.  Not knowing what the plan is has taken a toll. I'm very glad to have a plan.

    Thanks again for being fellow companions on this wild ride.

    Shalom,

    Julie

        Ha! The Zipper!  I love it.  Melanoma is the  Zipper!  Every summer the Zipper comes to town.  Every year I look at it and tease the kids about riding it.  One day they'll take me up on the offer to pay for their ticket and I'll be out a few bucks and a yearly jest.  May they never ride the Melanoma Zipper!  

        Is you're in on Weds. Look for me and say hey.  I look just like my pix.  Shocking, I know.  It's always good to meet a fellow Melahomie.

      Hi Julie,

      My name is Jennifer and I live in So. Cal as well, I am in the South Bay Area.  My Dad is in the process of starting treatment.  Don't know if I am allowed on here to ask the Name of your Doctor?  He (my Dad) is currently seeing doc's at USC and Hoag, also seeking a 3rd opinion at City of Hope.  

      It sounds like you have a good plan of action.  I wish you the best.

        Hi Jennifer.  

        I think it's allowed.  It's easily figured out through my profile, so I don't have any problems saying that RSDoc is Steven J O'Day and you can find him at Providence/St. John in Santa Monica. 

        Shalom,

      I’m so glad things are moving along, Julie! Hurry up and wait is the pits…Every day of waiting feels like an eternity. So glad you’ve got a plan and the treatment will start soon. You can breathe again come Wednesday!

      Nice work Julie.  I think you are well on your way to kicking butt again.

      Not sure if you caught my post several weeks ago.  As far as I know there's no published on response rates for patients who are retreated with Anti-PD1 after responding the first time but in my conversation with Dr. Weber his gut feeling was when the data is mature it would show about a 70% success rate for reinduction.  With your added kick of JAC1 or PI3-k I'm very optimistic for you.

        Thanks Brian!  I remember reading it and being both intrigued and encouraged, but I had since forgotten about it (too much other stress, I mean stuff on the brain).  I wasn't sure why I had a thought that staying on Pembro would be a good idea.  Now I know why I thought that.  Thanks for the very encouraging reminder!!
