        Wow, my sister is also in Stage IV with pulmonary metastasis, dianosed this August.  Really wanna know how IPI is going on with you. And did you ever hear of Anti-Pd1 or the clinical trila "pazaponib"? We're Chinese and too bad that very few doctors in China specialize in Melanoma. Really wanna keep up with the latest development in melanoma drugs in USA. Keep us informed. Thanks.

                          Now that you asked me whether it was c-kit oncroprotein test negative or c-kit DNA mutation test negative, I am really confused as I don't know how to tell from the pathology diagnosis.  My sister's doctor in charge told her that she was c-kit DNA mutation negative and hence she cannot take "vemurafenib", a new drug aimed at  BRAF.He also mentioned that most Chinese are not brafv600e patients, but ipi (ipilimumab) is an option for all melanoma patients.

                          BTW, my email address is [email protected] and would you please tell me yours? Thanks.

                                Thanks for your message, James. Pathological section   shows that C-Kit Mutation is negative, so I think my sister cannot take Gleevec. BTW, as far as I know, Gleevec is used mainly for  leukemia  patients and it has lots of terrible side effects, right? May I know what medication are you now on what type of melanoma do you have?
