      I was not a candidate for any of the clinical trials at SCCA and decided against a study there combining yervoy and opdivo. I was negative for BRAF. So now we will just plug away with the yervoy alone and keep working on this till it's gone. Thanks all!

      Thanks so much to all of you. We are seeing a specialist (team?) up at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance on Wednesday and hopefully will know much more. I know BRAF testing was done, but for now we are on standby until we meet with the team and ask all the questions and start to hear options. I'll need to research all you've provided above. I am thinking research and awareness may be my best path forward. As for why it stayed dorment so long, that is the head scratcher for everyone so far. But it does sound like a nasty little critter by nature so…Anyway I will update asap and thanks again all.
