      Hi Annie,

      Wow, thank you so much for sharing your story. It is definitely encouraging to hear that the treatment helped your dad. It is a very difficult situation so to hear positive stories is very encouraging. 

      We found out my dad is braf positive so he’s been in therapy for that for about a week. Radiation is over and now we’re just monitoring the swelling in his brain. We can’t get him on immunotherapy yet because he is on steroids for the swelling. Hopefully when he gets off them we can get him going with immunotherapy ASAP.

      Will keep you posted on his journey. Thank you again for your words and support.

      best,

      Emily
