      I just had a lung tumor taken out which turned out to be melanoma (after 3 years NED after initial diagnosis on back, with progression to one sentinal node and removal of all the associated lymph nodes).

      Options presented today were watch and wait, yervoy, and wait to see if I have the BRAF mutation and try the pill.

      My surgical oncologist recommended Yervoy.  Anyone take Yervoy even though they didn't have any detectable tumors?

      Thanks,

      Chris
