      Just updating you all from last week. It turns out, my brain tumor was just a figment of my imagination as my MRI was clear. My blood work did show that I am a bit anemic, although the docs didn't think anything needed to be done in regards to that. I will be going back in for CT and blood work in 14 days after a quick visit to Costa Rica and we should have a much better idea of how the Yervoy is working. Thanks for all the support.

      Also, I don't know if he ever posted here or not, but Mike Brockey passed away just a few days ago. He was a true warrior. He wrote the blog sMelanoma Cancer Stinks, which my wife and I read, more her than me. Even though I never wrote to him or met him, he was an influence on my family, and for that I am grateful. He was just 33.

          I'm so glad that your mri turned out fine!  Evidently Yervoy is really playing with your body. Hoping it's also working!  Enjoy your vacation and try to put melanoma for a few days on the backburner.
