      I posted about a month ago about my fight against this crappy cancer, I had just started the trial for the combo braf and Mek inhibitor trial shoot but can't remember drug company, I have had my lymph nodes removed under arm pit , il2, Ipi radiation and chemo with venafurenib oh and a trial vaccine to start with. Anyway more new moles keep popping up the latest about 2 weeks ago and the tumor on my breast is growing again, it won.t go away, dang it. So Monday I have to have my boob removed with my tumor and spots and hardened skin that has been causing a lot of pain. Hopefully this will do the trick cause my optionsare getting to be slim Pickens. I will have my tumor cells tilled in case I need to have a transplant later. I am so blessedthat in my 2 + years of treatment that my cancer has not spread beyond my breast! original tiumor was on my upper back. I am going to beat this sucker!!!! I have the best support group of family and friends. Wish me luck and prayers,

          Hey Soccerchick,

          Your attitude and nom de plume made me smile.  I know you are probably tired of smiling at this mess, but hang in there.  You have certainly given it a run for its money.  I hope everything goes as easily as possible Monday and you are rendered NED for a good, long while!!!  Keep us posted.  Yours, Celeste
