      Thanks Celeste, and yes he is being seen by a melanoma specialist.  The dr. has never mentioned radiation and the advanced melanoma is unresectable.  I have read about the combo, more than likely from your blogspot…..I have been searching through much of your stuff.  Your info is so valuable, thank you!  Dr. office just called and will have an open order for him to be able to go in and drain the fluid when he feels ready.  And I requested we only be seen by her from here out.  We will get a CT scan next Wed. to see if the treatment is working at all although we know it is still early yet.  I have been in contact with the Oncology Info specialist at the Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Chicago and close to scheduling a consult for next week and get a second opinion?  Just trying to decide on that.  Thank you for the links you posted!!
