      Hi guys, just a quick check in & update, tomorrow ill be at Dr. Hamids to do a Brain MRI & CT scans plus bloodwork, then Thursday ill go back for a Biopsy and an additional tissue sample to donate to Melanoma Research of course my biopsy will be for “comparitive” future purposes and to test its DNA, FINALLY a biopsy to my now Baseball size tumor on my left side under my ribs! It never was biopsied before my Kaiser team cut me off so, i already know its Melanoma, every biopsy iv had since 2008 except one has all been positive for Melanoma so, im use to it, but to have it tested Properly!? Now this will be beneficial for me unlike anyother biopsy….love you guys and thank you AGAIN & Again for helping me get in with him, money well spent!…..

          I am so glad you are seeing Dr. Hamid now!! Sounds like a couple of long days for you. Why on earth has that tumor not been biopsied before now?! Anyway, get some rest. Praying for you.
