thank you for your response. Dr. O'Day was suggesting starting with Ipi and then PD1, but still mentioning that there is no one right way. Dr. Wong was strongly suggesting starting with IL2. He is not having any symptoms and in fact feels great! as far as the biopsy we are still unsure. It looks like one of the tumors is easily accesible but not the other. it seems he should get treated regardless. will start looking for clinical trials so that he gets access to PD-1 even if in combination with other drug. Have appointments on wednesday at ucla and angeles clinic. will ask them more questions. thanks again! should you have any other suggestions or clinical trial tips please let me know.
cheers,

Dr. O'day mentioned having to go with yervoy first before being allowed to get PD1. He said it was unknown though exactly how it would work (whether one had to fail yervoy) once it was approved and available. Have appointments at UCLA and Angeles clinic on Wendesday. Will have more questions for them. It will be difficult just to sit and wait for approval of PD1. My inclination is to search for a clinical study that combines the 2 drugs or something along those lines since PD1 isn't quite availble yet.
