    Hi Everyone:

    My dad starting taking Zelboraf at the standard dose on March 19, 2012, his Melanoma was quite advanced..  He was a responder to the treatment with tumour reduction in lungs, spleen, spine.  In May he started to get external regrowth on his neck.  Will get the neck growth radiated. Waiting to get his CT scan results back this week.  Speculating that it will likely show tumour growth and regression.

    I know lots of people are in the same boat in terms of running into the resistance issue.  Just hoping to hear some ideas in terms of a Plan B of attack.

    MRF is the place I keep coming back to for snippets of hope.

    Thanks,

    Adrian
