      Hi Becky,

      Before you make a final decision on Yeroy, which could give you severe side effects, you might want to discuss PD1 & PDL-1 with your doctor.

      It is a immunology treatment like yervoy with less side effects. So far, data as shown PD1 & PDL-1 drugs are more effective than Yervoy with very mild side effects if any.

      Since you are at Angles Clinic, I heard that PD1 & PDL-1 clinical trials would be opening at Angeles Clinic soon.

      I would definately ask you doctor about PD1 & PDL-1 before getting your insurance approval for Yervoy.

      It would be greatly appreciated by all of us if you can CONFIRM  if PD1 & PDL-1 clinical trials will be opening soon at Angles Clinic. I think that all of us want to know where we could get a PD1 & Pdl-1 drug if needed.

      Thanks & good luck with your decision for treatment

      A.

          Hi Becky,

          For what its worth, I called Angeles clinc last week and was told they had no PD-1 trials. They told me to call back the first of the year for an update.
