          Hello Steven.  

          I’m glad your surgery was a success and relatively painless. Cheers to you!!  

          My husbands tumor is on right on the side of his neck.  It the size of a golf ball or small egg.   Original primary site is also on the right side of his body on the top of his shoulder.  

          He had surgery originally when he was diagnosed and they thought they got it all about five years ago. Unfortunately about a year and a half after his surgery to remove lymph nodes and the original site the naughty tumors popped up on his neck and sternum.  Fast forward to just a few months post the end of  a grueling clinical trial here we are.  

          Any help you can offer would be appreciated! 

          Take good care of yourself!!

            Hi Ed,

            I hope you are well.  My husbands sternum tumor started at 4.1 cm x 3.5 cm and is now 2.4 cm x 2.2 cm. We are so super grateful to have had his tumor shrink, but are concerned now that his 2 year clinical trial is over.  I understand a tumor near the sternum is very stubborn to treat. We are scheduled to meet with Dr. Kirkwood and team in October to discuss the what’s next. Any help you can offer would be appreciated. Take good care of yourself and thanks again for all the good advise you share.

            Best,

                                  Hi Celeste,

                                  My husbands BRAF test came back negative.  Thank you for preparing me and helping me understand a things s little better.

                                  With that being said clinical trial 13-105 is off the table.  Any suggestions for a new treatment path?  We go to the oncologist tomorrow.
