Just wanted to share on a separate dedicated post the fact that a full genetic sequencing of my most recent tumor showed BRAF as positive. First two testings, one in July 2012, the other a few months later, indicated BRAF wild type. In fact, the second one was done precisely for the purpose of seeing if the first one might have been incorrrect. My oncologist said that the BRAF showed up in an unlikely place on the tumor (genes?). He also indicated that there were other peculiar findings. The analysis is probably a very accurate one as it has been done by one of

The analysis is probably a very accurate one as it has been done by one of the leading genetic sequencing labs in the world at the University of Michigan. I'm looking forward to finding out more. I hope soon. This is one crazy disease. But sometimes there is good news to report. Like being eligible for treatments that I thought myself ineligible for.
