I have Metastatic Melanoma in my lungs Stage IV I have had 27 treatments and I am stable as of now. I do not get sick from this drug, I have not lost any weight nor many of the other side effects that they tell you to watch for. My Thyroid acted up a bit, but that's all. I thank God for this drug every day.

The side effects were the worst. The treatment with this drug was stopped after the first dose.

This is a very expensive drug and dangerous. My companion (female) took one treatment and she was dead in less than a month after the drug was given to her.

After second doss, my brother started to have an internal bleeding that never stopped until he died a week later. DO NOT use this drug, it pushes up your immune system to the level that it starts to attack all body and making a lot of damage to the Healthy non-cancer related cells. I hope they completely withdraw this drug from the market.

UCSF is running a fine clinical trial. The nursing staff is wonderful and the doctor is excellent. I am getting frequent UTIs, which isn't supposed to be a side effect. I have been in the trial for eight months with about 20% shrinkage of my tumors, which are thyroid cancer tumors that have metasticized to my lungs.
