        Josh,

        My father was at UCLA and after progression on IPI/Nivo and then Nivo alone, the doctors put him on Nivo and Temodar as progression was aggressive (chose Temodar as he had multiple brain mets and hope was Temodar would help with them). His response to this chemo/immunotherapy treatment was robust and rapid. While he unfortunately ran into some other issues that slowed his progress, the scan results after second does of chemo (i.e. after two months) showed most tumors drastically reduced in size and some altogether resolved.

        Our experience bodes well for similar success with chemo/immunotherapy treatments, particulalrly in someone younger and healthier with an immense drive and will to get better, like yourself.

        Stay strong my friend, and good luck.

              My father was at UCLA and after progression on IPI/Nivo and then Nivo alone, the doctors put him on chemo/immunotherapy combo as progression was aggressive (Nivo and Temodar, chose Temodar as he had multiple brain mets and hope was Temodar would help with them). His response to this chemo/immunotherapy treatment was robust and rapid. While he unfortunately ran into some other issues that slowed his progress, the scan results after only second does of chemo (i.e. after two months) showed most tumors drastically reduced in size and some altogether resolved.
