      Thanks Kevin. Shane has been looking at IL-2 for awhile now. He feels strong and we are thinking this might be the best time to do it. It does not appear that teh BRAF/MEK (Tafinalar/Trametinib) combo is working. He spent 13 months on Zelboraf before became resistant. 2 weeks now on the combo and not seeing any results.We are hanging.
