        I have been on MK3475 for 14 weeks receiving 7 treatments.  I feel wonderful, my liver enzymes have decresed (LDH by 25%) but my tumors have multiplied and increased.   I believe that the scans are not truly  demonstrating what's going on inside of me.  I was wondering if anyone else has had this experience?

              Yes, I will receive my treatments until the next set of scans one month after the ones I just had.  I am feeling wonderful so I believe that the scans just recorded the inflammation from the drug.  That's my story until proven wrong.  i have had no side effects from the drug.  I wish you the best.  Continue to be a Melanoma Warrior!
