      My husband has had om mets to liver since dec., 2010.  He's had resection, ablation, yervoy and gm-csf trial, y-90.  Last scan after y-90 showed bone mets and increased size of liver mets and new liver mets.  How long does yervoy have effect on tumors?  How long does it take for y-90 to show results? is 2 1/2 months too soon?  Worried what to do next.. Husband still feels good. We have appt. at vanderbilt next week to discuss temozolomide vs.

Husband still feels good. We have appt. at vanderbilt next week to discuss temozolomide vs. AZD-6244 and @ the end of month @ moffitt to talk about anti-pd-1.  Anyone with experience in these drugs that could give us some pointers would be appreciated.  Really feeling a little lost at present.  Margaret
