      Update

      So my surgeon will not operate on my leg because the 8 mm spot in the muscle in my leg is too small to pin point. They tried to do a ultrasound biopsy and could not see it but the report and pet scan did not match. They did a MRI of my leg to verify the location. In the mean time my oncologist wanted me to start the Tafinlar and mekinist combo but because there is still something in my leg she is suggesting I start immunotherapy. I am now being sent to Sunnybrook hospital for a second opinion regarding treatment.
