        Looks like they may be opening up Nivo for all Stage 3 patients and you won't have to do a clinical trial to get it.  You don't want Ipi alone.  Ask about the new FDA approval for Nivo and see if your doc can't argue for that.

          After reading all comments, I am curious if all of you who have gone through the treatment would choose to do so again if you were a healthy 79 year old?  I have had resection of my cheek and have a positive sentinel node and now am debating further neck dissection and chemo.  Wondering at my age if all of that is worth it.
