    Now that I am in between shoveling, I can finally post a note here.  I just want ot thank Shelby and the MRF for putting on a wonderful synposium last week in NY.  Dr. Weber and the other doctors were fantastic!  A lot of information was presented, but most of it, I read about here on the forum.  The one thing that was shocking…PD-1 drugs have not been released for compassionate use. 

    The trials are showing fantastic results, yet, the drug is not available to those who need it desperately.  Please take a moment and write to Merck and Bristol Myers Squibb asking them to please release these drugs for compassionate use.

    Blessings to all for keeping the fight alive!

    Tricia

      Hi Tricia,

      I'm so glad you were able to attend the symposium and that you enjoyed it, especially since you're active here on MPIP! Thanks for the nice post and be sure to let me know if you need anything. Also, if you want or need anything from the symposium, the recording and the slides will be available soon!  

      Thanks,

      Shelby – MRF
