*This is the first post from my new cellphone. We will see how it goes...
Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS) contacted Bobby after seeing his article in the Melanoma Research Foundation's newsletter and invited him to come to Miami for the launch of Yervoy, the miracle drug which was recently approved to treat metastatic melanoma. Bobby was asked to speak to BMS's sales team from a patient's perspective after treatment with Yervoy. The prognosis for Stage IV melanoma is currently poor, but with new drugs like ipilimumab, we hope to see that change. Yervoy was approved on March 25.
Bobby and I flew to Miami on Saturday and checked in at the Miami Doral Resort...
Bristol-Myers wanted Bobby here for Tuesday and Wednesday. We decided to add a few days to the trip and flew down Saturday. We have had a wonderful time so far and have met many amazing people. I have lots of pictures to post and will have much more to say :) We are currently driving over to the west coast of FL to meet Grandy (Donna's mother) for lunch.
(I will post this so I don't lose all of it) Love to all
