Hey, Niki.  I am considering the same trial.  Curious to hear how your first scan came out on 6/3/16.

I am 65-yo male, redhead, freckles, lots of sun exposure as kid.  I've had probably 10 basil cell carcinomas beginning 1992 and then most of others in past 10 years, one melanoma in situ 5 years ago.  My dermatologist discoved advanced scalp melanoma this past Feb, it was excised along with lymph nodes– all clear!  Unfortunately, subsequent CT scan and following PetCT found nodules in my lungs.  I am asymptomatic and the nodues are small, but the biopsy was positive.  I met with my doctor at UCSF Thursday and he offered the same trial you are on– alternative would be Opdivo alone.   We are in the process of deciding, so gathering all information possible.

Thanks so much and all my best to you.
