        I read up a little on the website but will def look into the media stuff.  Thanks!  I'm a little anxious right now becuase now he's in the ER for some infectious concerns…. I hope this doesn't delay the study med too much.  At least they ruled out a clot, now thinking cellulitis.  The nurse in me is concerned it is more tumor though :/

                    Under Forida Cancer Specialists and Research Institute in Naples, FL.  My parents just vagely said "it's like Pembro"…should shrink/stop progression and his symptoms/pain should relieve within a couple weeks of starting hopefully. I am not there and haven't been able to speak to the MD.  It's frustrating because I am so far away (in Cali) although I'm taking FMLA to go be there for a month so hopefully can be more involved.

                          other med it may be in combination with is varlilumab.

                          He is BRAF negative from what I read up on his biopsy from last year.

                                Wow, that is amazing!  Thank you for this reassurance, I am hoping that this works awhile for him also.  After reading a bit on the trial it mentioned that having a rash initially may be indicative of it working better/longer? Did you experience any rash?  We did receive some good news today that looks like they will start it on Monday, a few days earlier…fingers crossed!  Good luck to you also.
