Dear Bruce,

First of all, I am sorry to hear about your wife's condition. 

I had melanoma stage IV; tumors in my brain, lymph nodes, arm, leg and abdomen. After stereo tactical radiation therapy and 2 surgerys I started Yeroy on March 1st 2011. I have an ongoing complete response since June 2011. So although the response rates are low: keep believing in an positive outcome. 

I didn't had a lot of side effects. Only a skin rash and being fatigue so now and then. All side effect are well treatable if you react immediatly. So make sure your doctor has experience with Yervoy and stay allert yourself. Call the hospital if you have any doubt.

The clinical trials didn't show any benefit with GP10 (you can google the trial results). 

Yervoy takes some time to start working and if you have any side effects, the body can handle it better if it is in good shape. So start as soon as possible would be my suggestion.

I wish you and your wife all the best.

Regards,

Astrid
