      I haven't contributed much here but I just posted a profile for anyone who wants the history. After a couple clear post-interefron scans they found mets in my lungs & liver last August. I did the ipi for 4 infusions. Follow-up scans on Tuesday found more & the previous ones growing. Some are now over 1 cm. So the Moffitt folks have enrolled me in the anti-PD1 trial pending clearance after a brain MRI, bloodwork & an EKG. I keep telling my docs, "Keep me alive til you find a cure!"

          Hi Dan,

          My Mom is Stge 4 and a patient with Dr. Lutzky.  We are currently doing a reinduction of Yervoy. I was wondering are you going to be doing the BMS Anti-pd1 at Moffit with Dr. Webber? Dr. Lutsky told us if and when needed he  would send us to Moffitt for the same treatment. I wish you the best results with your new  treatment.

          best regards,

           

          Wendy

                    Hi Wendy,

                     

                    You mentioned your doctor is Dr. Lutzky, is that the same Lutzky out of Miami(Mt. Sinai)? That is where my brother is going and he is seeing a Dr. Lutzky. My brother just finished the IL-2 treatment and now we are waiting the 6 weeks to see if it is working!

                    So, he is willing to help your mom go to the Moffit center? I just want to know all the options my brother has.

                    Well, we live in Fort Lauderdale- Please take care,
