      Hello,

      Has anyone successfully tried T-VEC injections at an advanced stage 4? What was your experience/side effects?

      Ippi/Nivo, and Pembro seemed to have failed. Lots of bone mets, and the platelets are very low, requiring frequent transfusions. Bone marrow is probably involved. 

      Another question–has anyone tried intralesional IL-2 injections? What was the outcome/side effects?

      This is for my mom , I wrote the post about her history in (https://www.melanoma.org/find-support/patient-community/mpip-melanoma-patients-information-page/treatment-options-failed)

      One more question, has anyone tried any targeted therapies for NF1? If so, what are the side effects and outcomes?

      Thank you!

      Yuliya
