Thank you for your thoughts. It gives me hope that he may stillhave success with the ipi-nivo even though he failed Keytruda and ipi alone. I hope your success continues!

Thank you – great to hear the treatment has worked for you! It is unfortunate about the side effects but it sounds like you're much better now. I'll make sure the doctors watch liver especially as Dad's had trouble with that before

Thank you for your advice – I hope the treatment works as well for my Dad! Trying to stay positive is very important. Fingers crossed 

Thank you so much for your comments. We're in Australia, so there are meant to be good melanoma specialists here (for unfortunate reasons!) Dad's team is a specialist melanoma team, although he has switched doctors as well. That's very helpful re the inflammation and watching out for the heart, I will bring that up as well

Thank you so much for this. I've checked the links you sent and they are very helpful, especially the ones about radiation and immunotherapy. I might try to show them to the doctors! 

Thank you so much for your response – I hope my Dad's side effects are also easy breezy (though severe vomiting doesn't sound good!) 

Thank you for the advice on the side effects. I believe he's been checked for gene mutations and he's not BRAF Positive unfortunately, as my understanding is there's be more options then.
