    Just finished 2nd month of Zelboraf treatment. Appointment with oncologist went very well. Labs are still improving and several subq tumors are no longer palpable!  Scans set for end of 3rd month of therapy as was set up by the clinical trial protocol. Have received 3rd month commercially from specialty pharmacy without issue, since trial now ending.

    Remaining hopeful and positive that results continue to be positive
