      What a great day. This is my second anniversary on these two life prolonging (saving?) drugs. No evidence of any tumors but one, and it is a little shrimp compared to when I started. Thank you GSK. Thank you MGH. Thank you doctors Chabner, Flaherty, and Lawrence. Thank you Phase 1 participants on BRAf alone, opening this door of life for us. Thank you FDA for allowing this trial using both drugs, for you also played a great part. Most of all I wish to thank my terrific brother, Dr. Martin J.

Murphy, who knew about all this, and gave me the courage to have hope, and sent me off to Boston to get it.
