      I have just completed my 4th treatment of Yervoy. After my 2nd treatment itching was unbearable. Many oatmeal baths later I got a script from my Doc that is better then benedryl and did the trick. I take one pill before end time. It us hydroxyzine pamoate 50MG. Good luck, hang in there, it is only temporary. God bless.

      Hi Ally
      Try not to be discouraged and please try to get on the trial that includes the MEK. I am on the GSK BRAF/MEK trial and doing great. The MEK inhibitor will help you, as it has done for me and so many others. I have been on a year with very few side effects. Others have been on so far for three years and doing well! I started this process with stage 4 and have tumor shrinkage close to70% or more. There is a lot of hope out there…so keep the faith. Please try to eliminate sugar, white flour and preservatives from your diet and eat lots of organic fruits and vegetables, especially kale. Use lots of spices such as turmeric, garlic, ginger. Cinnamon, carrot juice are also so good for you. PLEASE keep us informed and PLEASE try to get on that trial. YOU will be in our prayers.
