      Had a large tumour removed from my back (13mm, mitosis 12, ulcerated), and WLE/SLND in January '13. Have felt great since. Surprisingly, my last scan (August 1st) showed 3 growths in my lungs (2 on left, one on right). All 3 are about 1cm x 1cm. I'm at Sunnybrook, in Toronto, and have signed up for a clinical trial. I'm BRAF positive. The trial has three arms Vemurafenib, and two others. Haven't been told what the other two are yet, but at least I will definitely be getting something. Has anyone else done this at Sunnybrook? I know it's pretty vague info right now, but will update, when I find out for sure…
