Just wanted to thank all the people who went through clinical trials for zelboraf. I ‘ve been on zel. For 8 months now. As I was driving to work the other day I started to feel sorry for myself passing by runners that were doing the same thing I’m not able to do any more due to pain in the feet (side effect from zel. and messed up feet). Then I passed by a guy in a wheelchair waiting for a bus. Seeing him, zapped me out of my “funk”. I was reminded of the blessings I still have, and overall dong pretty good.Just wanted to thank all the people who went through clinical trials for zelboraf. I ‘ve been on zel. For 8 months now.

Hello Bruce. I haven't posted here much, I've been spending most of my time between two jobs and taking care of the kids and my husband.
Posts like yours are the ones that catch my attention the most. People that feel sorry for themselves but can see and understand that there are others worse off than they are.
My husband Gary was diagnosed with stage II Cutaneous Melanoma back in September 2011.
After surgery, a disasterous round of radiation, two rounds of Temodar and now Zelboraf he is at stage IV Metastatic Melanoma.
He has his days of being depressed and asking 'why me', but most days he does his best to think positive.
Thank you for your post. It reminds us we all have things to be thankful for!!
