      To Whom It May Concern:This is to everyone that this applies to.

       

      I would like to know how long you were on Z before your doctor had you switch to IPPI.  Were you still getting positive results from Z when you switched?

          I was on Zelboraf for 6 months, at which point scnas showed a new recurrence. But, I will stress that I had NUMEROUS mets, including in my pancreas before starting the Zelboraf and after 2 monhs, those were ALL resolved – so even though I seemed to stop responding, I did have a VERY helpful response to get me to this point. Switched to ipi after this recurrence & going for 2nd infusion tomorrow.
