      Excellent, Boots. There are some great trials out right now for BRAF mutations. Keep in mind though, that many of them require that you not have systemic treatment prior to enrollment, so if you are serious about wanting in, you might want to wait on the recommended therapy. It will take at least 2 weeks to get the BRAF result back.
