6 weeks on B-RAF and first scans today!
Slight shrinkage.! Whoop! Of course I would have loved to hear, "We can't find anything on the scans. " Ha! Since I know that
won't happen I'll take some shrinkage.
My neutrophil count was kind of low at 1100 and it has to be at 1500 per clinical trial rules so I have to stop taking it for a few days. I'll have another blood draw on Friday, not likely that it will go back up there in just 3 days, but here's hoping. (Guess I'll make some liver for dinner. 😉

My dr. tried to convince them to let me keep taking it since I'm asystematic but it was a No-Go. My lymphocytes are still pretty high, likely the IL-2 still floating around in there maybe?
So.. just waiting around now. Dr. wasn't worried about being kicked off the trial, this is just a hiatus.
I feel pretty good. Side effects include some intermittent diarrhea, some acne that just started the last fews days and dry skin.
