        Thanks for your post. I am desperately trying to help my sister get into this same trial or the access program, MK3475. I have been on the internet trying to find a way to get her this new drug. She has stage IV small cell lung cancer in both lungs and has decided to quit her chemo because it made her feel so crappy. Besides Beverly Hill CC, do you know any other places I can try?  Could you be so kind to give me any other advice that might help to get her accepted into Beverley Hills CC? I am having a hard time getting anyone to call me back. Thank you in advance. Tom
