      I am so disappointed when I saw the oncoligist today he said no more Yervoy because of my hospital stay and he felt the side effects were severe enough that I could not take the last treatment. I asked him does he think the 3 treatments would be enough, he didnt

       have an answer for me. He just took out the Yervoy pamplet and read from it, he said he will see me in 3 weeks and at time will do a chest xray. I made up my mind I am calling the Melanoma center at UW Madison and see if I can get in to see a specialist there. He tapering me off the prendisone for 5 weeks time and I hope soon I can get my eyesight back to normal, last drops go in on Thursday.  yoopergirl

                Calling the melanoma center is a good idea. The folks there will be up to date on all the current treatment protocols and any clinical trials that you might qualify for.
