      Just an update since I last posted about Joe's scheduled MRI and CT.

      Joe's results came back on the MRI of the brain and CT of Chest, Abd and pelvis, and I am so relieved to report that all was negative.  There were two adenomas noted on the adrenal gland, which showed no concern at this time, but will continue to watch.  The BRAF was reported to be negative for mutation.  The additional biopsy that was done by the Dermatologist 2 weeks ago came back as negative and she stated it was a "blue mole"

      So for now Joe remains at stage III, with NED….we continue to be diligent, knowing that changes can occur at any time.  He will continue on the "observe" interdisciplinary plan between surgical, medical oncologists and dermatologist every three months with repeat cxr/ct
