        Hi – I am also surprised to hear that there is nothing that they can do. My husband's first site was his leg. He had a perfusion and infusion on the leg. It cleared all the tumours in the leg. Unfortunately, the cancer has spread above the leg and we are still faced with several options. His melanoma was treated at the Roswell Cancer Insitute in Buffalo. They are amazing. You must contact them. We also went to the Dana Farber Institute in Boston. They agreed with the leg treatment in Buffalo. We are from toronto Canada and can't say enough about our Amercian friends.

            Thank you so much for this invaluable information. We have just started all of our appointments and information gathering. It seems to be a troublesome decision between the two. I am just new at this so any information is the beginning of our learing and hopeful recovery.

                Hi – we found out today that our clinical trial (if my husband was approved to participate) is GSK 1120212 in combination with BKM 120. Do you have any information about that? Anything would help and thank you ! donswife.
