    My Friend  Linda S ( Magnolia Springs) was put on the sister trial that I am on for melanoma that couldn't be resected ( mine was for NED pateints)…she has completed 2 twelve weeks of the anti PD 1 and peptides and has shown 30% reduction in her multiple melanomas, and no progression. Some melanomas are gone. She now begins the booster IV's of anti PD 1 every 3 months. She is the one in my picture with the shortest hair…although she now has much more hair!! Yes its awesome news!!

      This is wonderful news and it's nice to see the happy picture of you two!  May her shrinkage continue until it's gone forever.

        hi Barb, I believe it is still accepting patients…you could write dr Weber directly and ask =:o) and he always writes back himself jeffrey.weber@moffitt.org  . He is in China doing a seminar or something this week, but he responded to me yesterday. You could also e mail one of his nurses- hummm Jennifer.Diehl@moffitt.org she could tell you as well!! I believe it's a great trial!- Lynn
