        Hi, Sounds great. Do you know if the trial might be open for those who were are NED but were in a different trial ior location? Is it just for those in your Moffitt trial? The NIH listing seems to exclude former PD 1 so I'm confused.Thank you.

              Good question. I know my oncologist believes in their program–he seems to think that it has a higher success rate than others.I was turned down because of my age (although they don't post an age,  they say that older patients can't take the strain) so it's definitely not an easy treatment.

                    I live in San Diego County and looked for support groups in Southern Cal after I was diagnosed in 2012, but couldn't find any for melanoma. I would be interested in participating if you find a group or want to start one. There are a number of patients in the San Diego/Orange County area and some good "halfway meeting points." With so much happening in the field, sharing information would be a great. idea…

                          Sorry to sound so confused, but aren't you saying that you are NED after being on a PD-1/ipi trial, so how are you eligible for this follow up, then? Were you on  a different trial that has resulted in your being NED?

                          I thought I understood Dr. Weber to say that continuing with PD-1 was a good idea, even for those who may be NED, which is why I am looking, still (not to mention that one never knows when the NED status could be suddenly gone!)

                          thank you.

                                Questions–IL2 has been around a very long time. Does anyone know how if differs in these trials at NIH?

                                Does Sloan Kettering offer similar trials?

                                Thanks.
