      Hello everybody,

      just wanted to share some good news with you. My husband has its 6 months on Zelboraf tomorrow and scans from last week show that it is still working. Tumors are smaller or gone. We are so thankful, it is very precious and we hope that it will continue. He feels very good most of the time, side effects come and go, but are manageable.

      All the best,

      Jenny

                This is good news, indeed! So glad to hear that Zelboraf is still knocking those tumors out. Glad he is able to manage the side effects, too and sounds like he is enjoying life 🙂

                Thank you for sharing the good reports!
