      Hi, I am writing for my sister Roberta. She has stage 1V Melanoma. Her tumor is to large to do surgery. They just started her on this drug. She is having bad side effects & had to stop it for now. Severe joint pain & burning feet. Anyone else been on this trial drug?

          Hi Zippy, so sorry you have had to join us here. We will do our best to help you learn.

          I don't have experience with this drug, but I'm sure you will hear from others who have taken it or whose loved ones have taken it. 

          In the meantime, try searching the forum (use the Search tab on the MPIP page) to see what people have said about it in the past.

          Come back and ask us more questions if you need to – or even just for moral support. Hope all goes well for you and your sister.
