    All,
    Starting Merck’s anti PD1 tomorrow. Hoping for the best. I could really use whatever advice, prayers or good mojo you can send my way.

    Thank you,
    Amy

      Hi Amy,

      Not that a month would seem very quick in your position — April must have been a very long month — but it's great that you got into a clinical trial, especially that one, so "quickly". You've really been through the wringer with this. Wishing you really good mojo with the MK-3475.

        You’re right Kyle, I was very fortunate that things moved quickly and I am starting exactly 28 days after my last dose of Zel. Its the timimg issues that are so nerve wracking. Four weeks off Zelboraf and no treatment is a long time for tumors to grow! At least brain appears stable and so far no new mets.

        This trial has 1/3 randomization to chemo, which I avoided, so am very blessed, and its right at home. I’m hoping this is the one that sticks. Just marking 2 years at stage 4 and some days, just dang tired of it all but today full of hope!
