      An update on the plan.  Dad is going to take last IPI infusion tomorrow, wait a week or 2, and then start on Debrafenib and MEK inhibtor.  SRS radiation on 2-3 spots on brain.  Will post with progress and toleration of the close IPI to Debrafenib transition.

      Thank you!

      Hi Denise,

      Thank you so much for your reply.

      It is looking like my dad is going to go ahead and take his last IPI dose, and will be starting Debrafenib and MEK.  We are finding out more about the timeline this week.  He will also probably be getting SRS on some of the brain mets.

      I hope your treatment continues going well and that you get good results.  I will update any progress on my dad's progress here.

      All the best, Shannon
