      My husband has been on Zelboraf and brain tumors continue to shrink! He still feels great and is working part time at Lowes to give him something to do. Now for the bad news….. he has had a lump for a month in his neck that is melanoma, but doctors are confident it is localized and with surgery on Mon, he will be ok! So, good news/bad news & weird that Zelboraf still working on brain mets, but this popped up. Oh well, that’s our new journey with melanoma. We still keep that Positive Mind Attitude and keep on living!! 🙂

      Best wishes to you all! Kelly
