Hi Maggie,

I responded earlier to your post but I don't see it…so will reply again. Thank you so much for your kind reply. It is all sound advice and I will take it to heart. He has already started eating an organic diet. Interesting thoughts on responder vs non-responder. I have tried to gather information for him and I have now stepped back to let him think it through and make his own decision. Worried mom..so it's difficult. I appreciate your support and I wish you the very best.

thanks so much to everyone for the comments. In regard to the most recent posts, I have already started him on vitamin supplements and turmeric. Anything he can do to boost his immune system naturally. Craig's comment above encouraging. Really tough decision and after he meets with his doctor again this week at Mayo he will decide. I'm just trying to research and give him all the info he needs so it will be an informed decision. My best wishes to all the people fighting melanoma out there. Your support means a lot. thank you.

Hi Misty. Interesting to hear you are getting the lower dose and my son plans to ask his doctor about this option. From the above posts I can see that several younger people (including you) are opting for yervoy. He is planning to make a decision this week. Thank you for your post. I hope you do very well in the future and glad to hear you are tolerating yervoy without much difficulty. Best wishes.

Hi Ed

Thank you for the info. We have read the IPI trial. Have also found a great melanoma specialist at Mayo in Jvlle Fl. to guide his care and scan on a regular basis. I have been trying my best to help him through this ordeal using every resource I can find. Now he just has to decide yes/no on adjuvant treatment. The PD1 drugs sound much more appealing. I will go to the link you provided and read that article as well. I appreciate the support.
