      So if the infliximab finally kicks in and stops my diarrhea I might be able to have targeted therapy sometime in September. For now I’m still stuck to the porcelain god and IV lines.

          Wth? Oh wow! And before, your test had you at Negative correct? That oncologist Dr. Jang i spoke with Aug 15th said he had “1” Melanoma patient that he treated that his/her BRAF flip flopped on him, not common he said, all my recent biopsys and colonoscopy is being retested as we speak for BRAF….Am i understanding you correctly?

              No my original genetic tests did not have enough tissue to give a result that was from the lung nodule

              They did a lymph node biopsy 2 weeks ago and that’s what came back now with the BRAF +

              So at least I have another treatment option since IPI/NIVO are out.
