    The current protocol

    for the administration of nivo is that it is to be used after failing a TKI. A tyrosine kinase inhibitor like sutent or votrient. Probably cost related.

    Damn pharmaceutical companies

    Seems half the stuff out there is designed to kill us!!  Only the strong survive.  It's like they dangle the carrot, if u can survive that, THEN you can have this.  Never makes any sense to me.  I still say the cure for cancer is out there, but the big money comes from the "treatment"' not the cure.

    My 2 cents.....

    Thanks, Fox. I think you're

    Thanks, Fox. I think you're right about the cost. It's a shame that's always the primary consideration.
