IDH2

To follow on Dad's last post, what I heard Dr K say is that dad has an IDH2 mutation and that a very new drug study has shown great promise. It's an IDH2 inhibitor that is not toxic like chemo.

I found these two articles that explain this drug and the positive results.

Maybe this will be a door opening to a more tolerable treatment!
