      Hello; I am new here. I have stage 4. currently at home after refusing general brain radiation over 2 years ago. They said i would live 3-4 months so i think they got it wrong. I have read about something Merk is doing with PD1 that might help me. Does anyone know best way to get into this trial series?

      Thanks all!

          Angel,

          Both Merck and BMS have some very promising PD1 trials.  You can do your own research on clinicaltrials.gov and try to find one that you might qualify for.  MRF also has a free trial finder service that may be able to help.  You may also ask your oncologist to help you find a trial.  If you have brain mets that may be something you are going to have to take care of before you can enroll in a trial.  Good luck.
