        This is wonderful news for you and your kids and also gives me hope.  I am also stage IV and just had my first treatment with Yervoy.  Minimal side effects so far.  Let's hope it works for everyone.  Wanted to take Zelboraf but co-pay was more than my wife make a month.  We give Genentec all that research money and then the price the meds so high we can't afford them.  Shame on them!
