    Got results from Monday's scans.  Everything is stable with no change in what is probably dead or scar tissue.  Another set of scans in six weeks.

      Dick – that's great news. I've been on Zelboraf for just at 5 weeks now. much improved from my early April posting. slight cough, breathing well, can walk the dog for a mile without becoming breathless. 1st consult and LDH labs tomorrow, scans in 3 weeks. You have given me so much hope. Congratulations. Ron

      Yeah! Such great news. Thank you so much for sharing. My husband’s 6 month Zelboraf scans are still more-or-less stable. Some tumors grow and some disappear at each scan. For now he only has 3 small ones. We’ll take it and are hopeful he stays this was as long as you have.
