        Thank you all for sharing your stories and much love and prayers to you all and families.
        My mum is starting a stage III clinical trial of 3mg /kg Yervoy this week in Melbourne and obviously is terrified about going into this first stage.
        After 4 strokes, a hear attack, Cerebal Heamoraage and this being the 2nd diagnosis of Melanoma (Diagnosed in the lymph nodes 3years ago and now just diagnosed in LH lung, bowel and stomach) mum amazingly still has full mobility & speech but has refused and further intrusive treatment after being given a 6-12mth life sentence.
        We’ve read a lot of positive stories on Yervoy trials but most have been at the 10mg /kg dose.
        Anyone who has / is undergoing trials at 3mg/kg please share what you’re comfortable sharing, any and all information going into this would be greatly appreciated.
