Yesterday my husband had his first two week doctor's appointment after beginning the GSK BRAF/MEK trial at UCSF. We thought that some of his skin lesions looked smaller, but were afraid it was just wishful thinking. The doctor confirmed that our observations were not merely wishful thinking. He looked at one lesion and said "You call yourself a tumor?" Apparently, our doctor believes in trash-talking tumors. We both left feeling more hopeful than we have in a long time.

YEA!!!!!!! I am so happy for you:)! I just passed the month mark – Mine is not where I can see it so I have no idea what is happening with it. When I started there was only one and it was pretty small so you give me lots of hope!
