      Hi everybody – My husband was diagnosed 1 year ago with Stage IV melanoma.  He has been on zelboraf for a year and we had some awesome results but both adrenals are tumors and have started growing again as of last week ct scan.  Devastated, yes.  This last year was almost surreal because my husband was feeling overall really good.  Our oncologist has now presented 2 options…  yervoy or clinical trial.  What do we do?????

As all of you know this is all so overwhelming.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated. -Holly and Dave

          The main (MPIP)  bulletion Board is the best place to ask melanoma questions. This board is mainly for off topics.
