      Had a dr. appt today where we were going to discuss surgical options that hinged upon me being negative for braf mutation but my results came back positive for braf so now I have much more pleasant surgical options. They're going to put me on mekinist and tafinlar. Is there anything I should be wary of in these treatments? anything I should be wary of with the braf mutation in general? I hear that the braf mutant melanoma can be more resilient and aggressive. Is that true? Just wanted to share the good news and get more info on the specific mutation. Overall I'm psyched to have more treatment options available to me.
