I actually spoke to Luis Camacho back on October 24th 2005 through an e-mail. At the time I was a stage 2b. Anyway I have sent him a letter for any updates on his CTLA-4 trials.
Luis, we spoke through e-mail back on 10/24/2005. At the time, I was recently diagnosed with malignant melanoma and was not at the correct stage for treatment with CTLA-4. I have now gone through wide incision, interferon, removal of the lymph nodes, dicarbazine treatment without any success. I was also the wrong HLA typification for any vaccine trials. I will be starting CTLA-4 trial with Dr. Kirkwood at the Hillman Cancer Center in Pittsburgh. I am now sick enough, with tumors on my back and small nodules in both lobes of my lungs. Is there any more data or information on your CTLA-4 trials that you can share with me? Also, If I don’t respond to the CTLA-4 treatment, what kind of options do I have left? Any help with information would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Jim Breitfeller
