        I am doing the very same cocktail right now. Round two, day three. I am stage four, mets mostly in bones. I am concerned about sentence I read regarding treatment causing increased pain in tumors at first. Anybody else run into this? Tuesday will be four weeks in hospital, brought here by terrible pain to start with.
        Melissa, I hope you do incredibly well with treatment.

                Sounds like you are approaching with the same attitude I do…one thing at a time, and then the next. I have been on this road for four years and the only time I get overwhelmed is when I bite off more than I can chew! One day at a time.

                      Your post was a blessing. Come the next Tuesday I will be in the hospital 3 weeks. Mel has moved to my bones and we has caused several passive fractures. As soon as I am back on my feet I will be starting IPI. Zelboraf did not work and I was pretty disappointed. Any thing positive regarding IPI helps. Good luck and feel better!

                                Probably about four weeks to Yervoy, and yes, we can do it from home. Things looking better this morning!
