Dear ALL fellow Met-mel fighters: Just had MRI /CT scans: very grateful about results:
1) No spread to other organs.
2) Lung numerous tumors have shrunk dramatically or are gone. A couple just stable but small. Big medial hilar region that poped up also regressed.
3) Multiple brain tumors have mostly shrunk (regressed) or just stable. Some or most could be just plain old dead! I hope.

4) Been on Zelboraf for almost 5 weeks……developed some "sores" that Mayo Dr. on Friday is convinced is Shingles! I can deal with that, but strange. Anyone else heard of such?
Background: Since May 2009 several chemo & interferon. Feb. had 7 brain tumors SRS zapped, and 10 days WBR. Did regimine of Yervoy March thru May of 2011. Started Zelboraf Aug. 19th? and still on it.
I should have already been dead- Just very thankful that something- all of the above perhaps- has kept me mostly stable or regressed; but not naive enuff to think i'm anywhere close to being "Outta the woods"
Love ALL, Grady.
