        These people are working on treatment options for the BRAF-wt subset (eg, negative).

        Trials haven't begun yet, though.

              It's interesting that mm was on the local news, but it's already known that BRAF inhibitors are associated with squamous cell cancers.  I do wonder why that is though…

                    it's not clear from your post where the WLE will be.  Poster above seemed to assume it was on your hand.  I'm assuming it's somewhere other than your hand, and that your question pertains to mobility.  You will not be able to raise your arm at first, but you will be able to use your arm for bathroom and you will be able to wash your hands.

                          Sentinel lymph node biopsy.  Often also abbreviated SNB for sentinel node biopsy.

                                David, my dx was made based on them being able to see crud growing in the ventricles of my brain on MRI.

                                Good luck with Zelboraf; I do believe it crosses the bbb.  There was/is a BRAF brain trial, and I believe NicOz was on it.  BRAF helped her, although it was a fleeting effect as resistance developed.
