      I called today and got in right away on Monday the 12th, will be seen by a melanoma specialist who has treated patients with ipi. Will have to travel 6 hours to get there but I am more at peace now with this decision. The Carbon Cancer center at UW Madison Wi. I could have gotten in on Thursday but need to get all my medical recods from 3 centers. Thanks to all on this board for all the good advice so far. will let you know how it goes when we get home.

          The Carbone cancer center is excellent.  Is your meeting with Mark Albertini by chance?

          Thanks,

                                  I am so glad that you decided to go to another doctor. I am sure that even though the trip is so far for you, that you will get great treatment.How is your eyesight doing? Have you seen a Opthomologist? With steroid drops..you need to get your eye pressures checked…just my humble opinion. Best luck..keep us updated
