                Thanks Ed. You are right. After reading the actual study, this one lacks many variables and # patients..

                  Thank you for correcting me about the 2014 study. Last week, i have just diagnosed with stage 4c (both lungs and bones) and i am in emergency mode that decrease my concentration.

                  There is a study in Denmark in 2011 that found positive correlation with beta blockers and survival time of melanoma patients (without using immunoteraphy). My MD Anderson Melanoma reseracher friend found that article. Here is the link:  β-Blockers and survival among Danish patients with malignant melanoma: a population-based cohort study. – PubMed – NCBI

                    Thank you very much Celeste. Interesting that they have a similar conclusion about pan beta blockers in 2014.

                      Hi Ed. Both my MD Anderson oncologist and my local (I am living in Istanbul now) (ex-MD Anderson) oncologist. Furthermore, i discussed this article with MD Anderson- Melanoma Reserach professor (my friend) and she is also very surprised and decided to start a research about it.

                          I am NRAS, by the way. Did you use 1 mg/kg Ipi with Nivo combination?

                            Thank you very much for your comments, Jenn. My positive lymph node under my ear is so big and uncomfortable that it is annoying to keep it 2 or 3 extra months. I am wondering if you are PDL-1 positive (primary)..  Are you NRAS or wild type?

                              Thank you so much Ed. Perfect articles..(but when you read them, even doctors can not decide what to do, so many variables and lack of long time studies).

                                It is easy to find many bifidobacterium brands. But i couldn't find any Ruminococcaceae supplements..All i can do now is to eat different legumes and complex carbs (oatmeal, etc.). Has anyone know any Ruminococcaceae supplements?
