Thanks, everyone.  Much valuable information and it helps us all evaluate chemo and the other instant options.  FIngers crossed that chemo will open up some other trials and maybe Yervoy.

Thank you so much for all the thoughtful replies.  We just received the news that my father-in-law is not BRAF positive. 

What now?  He is experiencing some fluid retention.  He doesn't have a whole lot of time.  he has been offered Temodar chemo and I think wants to try it.  do y'all have any thoughts on that?

Do they test for other genetic mutations when they test for BRAF?  Someone mentioned MEK.

This has all happened so fast and there's been no opportunity to pursue ANY kind of defense. 

I welcome any thoughts, and thanks again.
