    Have you all heard anything about this ???    I Just wrote about it in my HOME FROM MDA post,  but wanted to bring special attention to it, as Dr. B. toldus again that it will be available by Oct. – Nov. of this year !     It's for people who are completely NED !    Supposedly, it prevents it rather than havingto take chemo/Zel – other kinds of treatment,  forever !

    He will be back at a meeting in late Sept. 2012 for an update of the release date.   We cannot find anything about it on the net.  Would that be fantastic or WHAT !!!   🙂

    YA'LL HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT IT FROM YOUR DOC ?

      This may be what he is talking about.

      Official Title: “Phase II Trial of Sulindac in Individuals at Increased Risk for Melanoma”

      This clinical trail info was updated  in June this year, so it should be relevant.

      Cheers.

      Congrats on your good report! Do you have the name of the drug, maker, or more info on whether it is supposed to be in a clinical trial setting? That would be so very helpful to know. I know GSK has applied for approval of both their BRAF and MEK inhibitor drugs. I’ve also heard that the BMS anti-PD1 could be approved for lung cancer first before mel, so might be available to us off-label, but haven’t heard any time table for it. You might try posting on melanoma international foundation board also.
