      Yes, I got it. I have never gotten through Sloan so fast in my life!  Arthur, I remember your post all day. 

      So funny, the nurse laughed when I took a picture of the bag  on the pole. She said no one had ever done that before, but a few of her patients had that day. 

      Only side effect is fatigue, which is pretty much to be expected.  

      Fingers crossed, and I just can't thank all of you for your help and support.

      love, karen

      Thank you, Charlie. 

      Thank you for halting my pity party. I'm finally getting PD1 on Tuesday. Yeah!!!!!!Just read Tim's post on ASCO and realized that those who were NOT prior treated with Ipi have/had lower success rates.  Boooo.   Three gamma knife procedures later, thanks for reminding me to shut up and be happy and hopeful. 

      BTW: BRAF Combo lasted 10 months. 

      love ya,

      Hi Daniel,

      Dr. Sznol is starting that trial, but he feels that since I was so recently treated, I should go for the expanded access. 

      All the best,

      I just emailed Dr. Sznol on this matter, I'll share his response. I'm on NYU's list, starting Sloan's info-gathering procedure, and now this. In a brief email because he was away last week, Dr. Sznol said I should be on PD1 right away. That's what I'm trying for!  It's my understanding that the problem getting started is now with the hospitals.  

      How many will die before getting PD1?
