      I returned home On May 29th from MD Anderson.  while there, I went through a ct scan, and according to dr there is still a small mass near my bladder and another lymph node that needs looking at.  I was told that I could do this biospy either at home or at MD anderson.  I choose to come home to Alabama for test.  Found out I have the BRAF gene, and according toDr, the therpy recommended out there can be administered by my Dr. here in Alabama.  So my thoughts was why travel to Texas for treatment when I can do the same treatment at home.  I go Wednesday to see my Cancer Dr and will go from there.  So I have more test in my future.  I would like to here some success stories from anyone that have been diagmosis with stage 4, m 1 b melanoma that are out there.

          Are you looking at going into a clinical trial?
