      Just found this site. Yervoy has been a miracle for us. My husband was diagnosed in October 2010 and has been through a craniotomy for brain mets, whole brain radiation and chemo. He did not respond to the chemo so was referred to a clinical trial for ippilimomaub in March 2011 (now Yervoy). He has had excellent results with one round of treatment (4 infusions) with Yervoy. Minimal side effects and no evidence of disease advancement. 11 months out and brain MRI’s are negative and lung lesions have shrunk. We wanted to get the good news to others looking for treatments. God bless and we hope you are getting good results as well.
