      Hi all!

      I just wanted to share the results of Rudy's recent Pet scan which showed that he remains NED. He has now been on the Braf /MEK combo for 10 months. He is doing intermittent dosing of 3 weeks on 1 week off…and so far so good, thank goodness.  We are feeling blessed beyond measure and living life to the fullest every day! You all are in my daily prayers! FIGHT ON WARRIORS!

      Love and blessings,

      Gina

          Gina, great news for you, Rudy and your family!  I'm also still on the combo, but worked in ipi late last year/early this year.  Not yet NED, but stable with relatively small mets (and getting minor reduction in some mets).

                                          Thanks all! Matt, I am happy to hear of your success so far and tumor stability…keep fighting and I know you will soon reach NED also! Lynn, praying for great results for you and every one else fighting this battle. Josh, Rudy has been NED for 6 months. He's been taking hemp oil for over a year in addition to traditional meds and he truly.believes that the oil is the key factor in his success so far.

                                          Again, thanks to you all for sharing in our joy!
