      Hello all, just wanted to let others know, that Randys tumors that we can see and feel, (under his jaw bone, another one right below on neck, and a few on the chest wall) all have gotten noticably smaller.  Especially the two under the jaw bone.  There is the bigger one that was portruding out and was very noticable…and a the much smaller one below it.  The larger tumor on the jaw is almost flat with the normal contour or the jawline, and the smaller one feels tiny.  This is all after only two infusions of merk-3475.
