doing ipi again and have a question

Hi Lisa,

My Mom is in the same situation as you. We just had PET/CT scans on 1/16 that's 6 months post Yervoy. I am not sure how you figure what week these scan are considered. We responded up until know. She did have some shrink and now some growth. Her  2 tumors are in the gastric area with 2 new spots on her spleen. We just saw the Dr yesterday and we see him again on Tuesday to go over what we will be doing.  He is saying a reinduction of Yervoy too. This is how our conversation went:

He told us that a reinduction can give her a 40%  better respose rate. I think that is great!

I asked if the Yervoy is still working and he said yes because if not she would have many more tumors.

He is going to the Anti-pl1L hopefully starting in March, but I think he told me May

I told him that I keep reading that people are saying to do Anti-pd1 first and save the Yervoy reinduction – he doesn't agree

I asked for surgery and he said he needs to look over the scans before deciding

I ask how many reinduction of Yervoy have you seen done on a patient. He said 3 and never any more then that

I think I am in agreement with the Yervoy reinduction and if needed we'll have the anti-pd1L. My Mom is braf and c-kit negative with mucosal melanoma.  I will let you know what we decide come Tuesday. I wish you the best and have been following your post.

Hey Lisa, sorry I haven't been on here much either. Can you email me at:

[email protected]

I'll check it the next few days, then give you my regular email address!  Easier to talk that way as I still can't contact you thru the board here without posting!

Thanks.
