      Thank Julie,  Those were interesting articles and I will print them out for my Mom.  We are new to this and trying to learn as much as we can, as fast as we can!  The anti PD1 trial would not be open until September and the doctor advised us that it would be too long to wait.  I hope that Ippi is a good choice as it seems to be the only one available.  Thank you for your help!

      Thank you for the response.  She is being seen at Dana Farber in Boston.  She is starting Ippi treatments this week.  Clinical trials were mentioned but none of them were open and would not be open until September.  The doctor felt that this would be too long to wait without a guarantee that she would be accepted.  She was eligible for a vemurafenib  and IPPI clincial trial where they would be administered at the same time but obviously won't be doing that as she is not BRAF positive.
