      Though it is with a heavy heart….I have begun plowing through what I think are the most pertinent ASCO abstracts for folks here.  There are many sites through which you can read the abstracts and reports as well as see videos of presentations and discussions for yourself and I encourage you to do so!  However, I will be putting abstracts grouped as they seem to read best, with pertinent background data if I have it, and my interpretation of the expert's jargon in red up on my blog.  The rough topics I have made are:  brain mets, ipi 3mg vs 10mg, outcomes after stopping immunotherapy, new combo's and meds (ipi with CD47, pembro with entinostat, nivo and anti-LAG-3), intralesionals, news for NRAS folks, and a few others.  

      Here is the first installment – posted today:   ASCO 2017: Nivo or Ipi/Nivo combo in melanoma after progression on ipi or anti-PD-1

      http://chaoticallypreciselifeloveandmelanoma.blogspot.com/2017/06/asco-2017-nivo-or-ipinivo-combo-in.html  

      In honor of Jamie and Joshie….

      I wish each of you well.  Celeste

                Thanks Celeste.  Though I wasn't in the trial, I am grateful to be one of those ipi/nivo "salvage" patients.

                        I was hoping you would see this, Michelle.  It doesn't answer your recent conundrum directly…but I think you could extrapolate…that no matter the order of immunotherapy we participate in…after progressing on one…there is a chance of a response with another.  I wish you well.  c

                        Thanks you! In our house we chant, "Who rocks the house? (Insert name) rocks the house!" (Yes, I was a HS cheerleader, college cheerleader, and coach.)

                        Anyway…..

                        CELESTE DEFINITELY ROCKS THE HOUSE!!!!
