      Anybody more want to share his or her experience with Zelboraf and brain mets?

      It's so important for us, and maybe for other people too.

      Sorry to hear that your brother has so much brain tumors Kelly. But how great is it that Zelboraf works for your husband! That is really great to hear. Minimal side effects and shrinking tumors!

      Please people, keep sharing your experience with Zelboraf! It will help us make the decision! Positive or negative experiences, are both welcome!

      Thanks Kelly for sharing! I hope you can still be so happy about Zelboraf for a long long time..!

      The docter said brain radiation is now option, cause the tumors returned very quick after the initial sugery in April. Her argument is that with radiosurgery (gamma knife) will maybe remove the tumors (for a bit) but there will be always some cells that the can not remove, so the tumors will return again.

      I think radiation will have even a bigger impact on my brothers body, he is not in a good condition at the moment; he can not walk and have to be moved by an ambulance to the hospital. He needs care 24 hours a day.

      Maybe a second opionion is an option.But I first wanna hear all your experiences with Zelboraf, so we are sure that this is something he can use at the moment. For now I'm getting more and more convinced, after your stories, that Zelboraf is the right thing to do right now.
