    My pre-prescreening brain MRI was normal… SO thankful. I go to Vanderbilt for the rest of the prescreening on the 22nd,and if all goes well I am scheduled to start into the Merck PD1 trial on Monday the 29th!!

      Tina,

       

      SOOOOO Happy for you.

      At Vanderbilt are you guaranteed the Merck PD1 drug? or do can you get randomized to chemo?

       

      Good Luck,

      Karen…. "a little sidetracked" LOL… that is a tad bit of an understatement! You have been through a lot in the past month. We should end up pretty close to same schedule then… I actually start the trial on Monday. Hoping for good reports for you!! Of course, let us know!! So sorry for how difficult this past month has been for you.

      The Merck trial has3 arms… one PD1 2mg, one PD1 10mg, and one chemo. BUT.. you can cross-over to the PD1 if you dont respond to the chemo. Getting ready to post that I got the call today that I was randomized into the PD1 arm. I start on Monday
