I got good news recently and wanted to share for those who might be interested. I am on the trial at Mass Gen in Boston that combines MEK162 and BKM120. I had my first CT scan last week and after less than two months on the drugs I have 16% shrinkage!! All tumors have responded. This is the first treatment in over two years that as been able to shrink my stubborn adrenal gland tumor. I am very excited and encouraged by the results, but really don’t know what to expect long term. Hopefully more shrinkage! Now I have a brain MRI tomorrow and hope that things are going to be okay there.I got good news recently and wanted to share for those who might be interested.

Just wanted to share the good news!
