        M,

        Our oncologist has talked about the possibility of maintainance doses of IPI. Any problems with insurance?

      Hi –

      Ipi (MDX-010 trial) in 2008 (4 trial doses and one maintenance dose), led to NED in early 2009.

      I've remained NED ever since.

      Best of luck with your husband's scans!

      -Rocco, Stage IV since 2005, NED thx to IPI in 2009

      I did Ipilimumab infusions with great results. I tolerated the 12 week cycle twice and was considered stable for 6 months. Tumors started growing again with some new spots. Restarted Ipilimumab infusion for 12 week cycle with no effect on tumors. Changed to Tafinlar at that time.
