      I had my 2 month scan since starting the Clinical Trial at MSKCC. Yesterday’s scan showed significant shrinkage in most of my tumors. This is my second run on the MEK combo with now added Phenformin to see if we can extend the time before resistance. I am so thankful for the reprieve as my pain level is decreased and I am off narcotics and enjoying life and praising the Lord for healing. I love Dr Shoushtari and the team at Sloan Kettering, they have worked hard for me. This trip was definitely worth it!
