  That report reminds me of our very own Maureen, whose husband is doing well treating his melanoma with a similar HER-2 therapy: https://melanoma.org/legacy/find-support/patient-community/mpip-melanoma-patients-information-page/excellent-scans-breast-cancer
  
  This is why I keep yelling about additional tumor testing, especially for folks who fail our current immunotherapy and targeted therapy options for melanoma. Thanks for sharing., SOLE! celeste

  This is great news! My son was dx with oral melanoma in 2009. At the time, it was so rare and what I could find out about it was very scary. He is one of the lucky ones, 10 years NED
