Bio

My sister is 56 years old. She had a large Mole on the back of her leg. When she went in for a hysterectomy, her GYN did her a favor & cut it out & did a biopsy. After seeing more doctors & having more tests & finally being convinced this is serious, & now fining a large tumor on the inside of her thigh she went to Sloan Kettering. They did biopsies, blood work & scans she has started the trial drug LGX Darafenib.
