      It is with great sadness I post this.   Ezio last Monday lost the battle with melanoma.   We had tried targeted therapy with dabrafnib and tremetinib. Switched to pembro. And then in combo added in ipi.   We just ran out of time.  After 3 gamma knife , whole brain radiation and additional SRS.  We still lost.    The lungs and adrenal glands all shrank.  But the brain kept progressing.  Things went out if control the last month. And things changed overnight.  He lost the battle last Monday. He will be Forever missed.

            I'm so very sorry, Elizabeth.  Ezio was a real fighter, and he had such a brave warrior in you by his side.  Take comfort in the fact that you guys did everything you could.
