Jeff, Have you called Bristol Meyers Squibb? I saw on another board one or two people got approved by BMS through some sort of compassionate care I think?? Not sure if BMS is who you are referring to when you say you were denied. Have you looked at any trials with MEDI-4736? Or maybe try calling maker of Keytruda and see if they can help you. I feel your frustration and wish I knew how to help. Nancy
