      Hi All,

      For those who are not familiar with MRF nurse support, if you have a specific, more medically based question, you can submit your question to the MRF nurse by emailing askanurse@melanoma.org. You can expect to receive a personalized answer from MRF experienced nurse within 72 hours.

      I recently emailed Nurse Katherine,a question about a side effect that I was having on Merck anit -pd1. She answered my question in a timely manner and her answer was very thoughtful. She even took the time to see if there was any new research regarding my side effect.

      I was very impressed with Nurse Katherine's answer to my question so I just wanted to make sure others know about this  "ASK A Nurse" Support.

      Tim and Shelly, thank you for this opportunity you have given us to talk to a nurse.  I think that Nurse Katherine is very professional,knowledgeable and caring. Nurse Katherine is truly an asset to the MRF Team.

      Thanks,

      Cat
