      Feel like the first positive news I’ve had. As i posted before i have been taking braf inhibitors for 6 weeks now. My local oncologist is on vacation but i am able to text him. I asked if he seen my ct results from scan last Thursday and he replied that the 18mm iliac lymph node that showed on last scan has shrunk to 7mm. I knew the drugs were working because the in transit spots that were visible on my scar had all shrunk. I so wish the braf drugs would keep working. They are powerful drugs. Hopefully this gets me back to surgically resectable. I celebrated by helping a buddy track a big 10pt buck and proceeded to have a couple to many beers today! I am from Wisconsin so today was great. He is going to text me full report tomorrow.
