Hello All,
The yoyo melanoma warrior is back online. I was lucky enough to get into the expanded gsk trial at UCSF with Dr. Daud and Dr. Algazi…I am so very greatful to be one of the braf-k folks to be included in this trial. (I was not discriminated against because i was not braf-e…whooohoo)So far i have an overall 30% tumor reduction with some tumors being resulved…some of the more stuborn boys grew slightly, some stayed the same, and some of the boys just disappeared. George ans Oscar the grouch were removed then tourched before being placed on slides to endure more horrores at the hads of the pathologists…hahahaha
I was wondering if the other braf/mek Warriors were expericing side effects…mine are mangable but they kicked my butt this past few weeks…chills, fever and weird ouchy spots on my legs….i am greatful forfor the side effects because it means the medicine is working…WhooHoo
My best to all with blessings and love hugs,
Susan AB

Way to go yoyo warrior. You have the right attitude to beat this thing. A good sense of humor and a fighting spirit help. Best of luck to you. Keep us posted. I am about a month into Zelboaraf. Had 3 barin mets. Last scan was good – nothiing in the body and the brain looks clear. Next step – a chemo agent that will give me long term (as in forever) response. It can happen.
