      Hi Sharon

      Thanks for posing this question. I too will be most curious as to opinions. I had hoped to do B-RAF trial here about two months ago but proved to be negative.  I am now on temodar (stage IV drug) first round and if I show progression will be going on to the compassionate ipi trial, considering the continued growth of my tumors probably heading in that direction. I thought I would try B-RAF first since ‘ipi’ could be my back-up plan…but that didn’t work out.  Anyways the problem with the brain barrier would have made me re-think if I was going forward now with B-RAF.

      Unfortunately, the timing of the new bulletin board with not all on board yet could slow down the responses.  Val
