    Hello friends,

    I just got the FoundationOne report identifying the mutations of my brain tumor and I learned several things, two of them being 1) my tumor has a number of mutations and 2) one of those mutations is the CKIT mutation.

    I’m currently on Nivolumab and responding well but I’m always trying to learn more about other options in case things start going less favorably. So, I’m wondering if anyone has been on any treatment specific to the CKIT mutation. If so, what was your experience?

    Sending love to you all!
