Hi Becky,
Before you make a final decision on Yeroy, which could give you severe side effects, you might want to discuss PD1 & PDL-1 with your doctor.
It is a immunology treatment like yervoy with less side effects. So far, data as shown PD1 & PDL-1 drugs are more effective than Yervoy with very mild side effects if any.
Since you are at Angles Clinic, I heard that PD1 & PDL-1 clinical trials would be opening at Angeles Clinic soon.

I would definately ask you doctor about PD1 & PDL-1 before getting your insurance approval for Yervoy.
It would be greatly appreciated by all of us if you can CONFIRM if PD1 & PDL-1 clinical trials will be opening soon at Angles Clinic. I think that all of us want to know where we could get a PD1 & Pdl-1 drug if needed.
Thanks & good luck with your decision for treatment
A.

Hi Becky,
For what its worth, I called Angeles clinc last week and was told they had no PD-1 trials. They told me to call back the first of the year for an update.
