      Thank you for responding. I found a lump on the outside of my hip. It wasn't on the bone though it was encapsulated which is lucky because it was a large 4mm mass. 

       

      I tested negative for Braf. I made some appts with specialists, I was just wondering what to expect in terms of treatment. It's hard to be a cancer patient and have patience, right?

       

      take care!

      Hi Tina

      thank you for responding to me and I wish you good health! Can you help answer some questions about the clinical trial? 

      For pd-1 does it depend on your BRAF mutation? I tested negative. I also heard good things about Yervoy. Lastly are there multiple hospitals that are doing the clinical trial? I'm curious if I would have to travel to take part. 

      After your recurrence what did they put you on aside from the trial? 

      Thanks 🙂
