HI! Just got off the phone with Linda H. She was released. She is going to be on the Dabrafenib trial. She will get scans again tomorrow. She is decreasing the steroids which is a requirement. They found she has diabetes due to the steroid use and is on insulin…this is probably temporary , but for now its something she has to go thru. The two old small mets bled, probably because her blood pressure was high…the other two mets are small. If she needs more surgery or radiation she can still get it.

They are bringing in a brand new CT scan specifically for the Dabrafenib trial and she will need to have that scan used on her from day one. That should be installed no later than 3 weeks. She sounds good, some hesitation in forming words, but she is doing much better. She still has difficulty typing and finding words. Difficulty reading written words… I just wanted to share and support her! Thanks, Lynn
