      Well everyone I posted on the 17th of October about my sister, she passed away on October 22. Unfortunately her cancer was too aggressive and she was never able to start zelboraf.
      Almost 2 weeks out I still can’t believe she’s gone. I was with her when she died, told her how much she was loved. I’m writing here because the Zelboraf showed up too late for her to use but I have 2 bottles of this. The drug company won’t take them back and her oncologist’s office said they would try to get them back to the drug company, but I’d rather someone else use them….
      Is anyone here in need of it?

          Thanks for posting this.

          Please make anyone aware that if taking this drug they must be BRAF V600E mutation positive,
          or it will either do nothing or cause the melanoma to grow even faster.

                            I am so sorry to hear about your sister. 

                             

                            I am also on Zelboraf and I'm on another site also where I believe are a few who are paying full price for Zelboraf.  I will post on that site and tell them to come here to contact you.  There are several states who pays infusions but not cancer medicine that is taken at home.  This would be such a beautiful thought to help someone in your sisters memory.

                                  Thank you for letting us know and for your generous offer.  I hope that a similiar offer will be made if I have any of m y meds left when pass from this earth.  I am very sorry for the hole that is left in your lives and know the heartache that we feel for ourselves and the other family members and friends.

                                              You are a living tribute to your sister, and I hope you get all the years that were taken from her by this horrible sneaky disease. Your offer to help probably violates lots of laws, but I hope you find someone waiting like your dear sister, and it reaches them in time. This old trial lawyer says in circumstances such as this: Catching comes before hanging. Moreover the jury would convict the prosecutor, for bringing the case, rather than the defendant, in a case such as this. With moist eyes, I thank you, for your tribute and spirit.
