      I am so sad I can barely write but I need help fast.  I grew 11 new tumors in eight weeks while on the IL2 including two new 3cm tumors in liver, many in pelvis, lung, back head, not brain…  They are now fast growng and I am deciding whether to try GSK2118436 trial study or Vemurafenib or do nothing.

      The Ipi and IL2 did not work for me.  I am signing a contract today for a new condo.  If I do any of these treatment options will I be able to be on my own.  I have many friends and family who will look in on me but how have the side effects been for any of you?

      The trial study team was to call me for an answer yesterday and I still cannot decide what to do.

      Has anyone been on GSK 2118436 trial?  How were your side effects, day to day living and did you respond?

      Please write me back.
