      thank you Jenn,  I will keep the unresectable option in mind. we like Daud and will most likely go back to him for 3mg instead of staying in the trial for 10mg. the efficacy data on IPI for adjuvant is very confusing. different reports i believe choose different measures to compare so we see from 3% improvement (IPI for stage III vs Stage IV) to 10% improvement between IPI vs placebo and some report 28% improvement.  or it could be that some numbers are % improvement vs actual absolute improvement in % numbers ( if that makes any sense). we plan to sort through those again today.

      jenn, since you are local and have experience with UCSF, do you mind if i reach out to you diretcly? would you mind emailing me directly at mitranaaseh@gmail.com.  thanks so much.

       

      take care and all the best to you

      thank you Jenn.  we have seen dr daud but since they don't have any trials for stage III, we went to Stanford to get into a trial.  Daud is the one who recommended 3mg vs the normal 10mg for stage III.

      take care
