        Dearest Father in Heaven, mightiest of might, though we do not understand the tests and life we must get through, we pray you give Jill and her family all the love and grace and understanding to get through this tragic time.  I am so pleased that although Eric is a wonderful man and love of her life, that he may now relax, be in peace in your arms and hurt no longer,  God bless you Eric, thank you for your lessons in bravery, humility and hope, faith and love………….God got a great one today, we are sad but the Lord rejoices……Amen.

            I would go with the IPI, I started IPI in May, did my 4 but ended up with multiple brain mets, that is a long story, but if you only have I I believe the IPI would be worth it.  I had no side effects to the IPI except it blew out my pituitary gland which we now replace with pit hormones……but I feel better and my Ipi seems to be shrinking my other lumps, still waiting to see how the brain mets are doing on my chemo, but I keep hope, have read some wonderful stuff about the IPI late responding on brain mets and in this disease seems hope is the holder.

             

            Good luck to you, I am not a doctor just a partaker and remember we are all different and everything works different on others…….God Bless.

                    Wonderful news on the brain mets, my sub'q's as we call them after the 4th ipi are beginning to go away, Praise the Lord, can't wait to see what my lung mets look like when I get scanned in August, but I feel there may be some good news on the horizon.  I am not doing brain rad, but only to keep ahead of the the mets, Lord Help us. …what a patch we must march.  People ask how do you do it, well, you place one foot in front of the other and then when you can't the Lord picks you up and you hold on tight………God bless you all and keep us all posted, as lab rats on the IPI trail, I do'n't care what the docs say……us in the fields must keep strong and compare notes.  Kitty

                                  I believe that is the best, seems that melanoma is a systemic cancer so to get those drugs in your system to fight it back are the best…..good luck to you.  And blessings.yes
