      I asked that question at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa this past Monday and they told me they are still using it there but in a combination with other drugs. Ask if you can have it that way?

      Hi,

      I know what you are going through as I am stage 4 melanoma also. I am the one that my friend Lynn wrote about that has it in her lung as well as in him stomach area and now in my intestines.

      As for symtoms from my lung, it was only shortness of breath, dry cough as well as noticing that I could not hold my breath for more than 5 seconds.

      I thought I was doing well and was for the tumors they knew about but when they opened up my intestines a little over a month ago because of what I had hoped to be inflamation, it turned out to be mass melanoma throughout. They took out 90% of the cancer and left 10% for my next clinical trial to kill. That's at least the plan.

      Hang in there. We really don't have much of a choice but to hope and pray for a miracle. Keep fighting. It helps all of us. If I didn't have Lynn as a support, I'm not sure I could handle the ups and downs of this cancer.

      I am willing to be your friend
