today was my first oncology consultation after starting Zelboraf on April 9th. it was very good, the doc described me as a strong responder, my lungs are markedly improved and no reason to postpone a trip in July to visit our son in the Peace Corps in Kenya. I feel so lucky that this drug is available to us, that I have access to it, that there's this board where others share experience, strength and hope. I'm a grandpa of 2 little ones and my greatest hope is to go long enough to see my 28 daughter as a mom.

I'm a grandpa of 2 little ones and my greatest hope is to go long enough to see my 28 daughter as a mom. that's a year or two away.When I started Zelboraf I couldn't walk the dogs a mile, take in enough breath to blow my nose nor talk for very long. hard to believe that was only a month ago. So far Z is a miracle drug for me. Plan B if needed is Yervoy.
My profile info is updated. this cancer was a secondary from 1995 that came out of the blue in May/June 2011.
