              Definitely is good news, I couldn’t think of having to feel the way I did on interferon. The worst part of this disease is the lack of treatment options and almost all have severe side effects. I am really enthusiastic about this trial for the fact that if we can prove its effectiveness hopefully in the future people can maintain a somewhat normal standard of living while kicking melanomas butt.

                    Yes it will definitely be nice to break some of this cabin fever. Although I never thought I would find myself excited about going to work I actually am. Thanks for the support.

                          i am seeing Dr. Jeffrey Weber at the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Fl. im not sure as to whether it is open enrollment or not. My Oncologist had sent me over to him a few times for different trials but i was either disqualified because of radiation or for my HLA blood type. This one the only qualification i needed was to be braf+.

                                ya i read the same thing. like i said very confused. i go back on wednesday so i should have some solid answers by then. This past weds. was my first dose and since i had finished my coffee about 8:30 they told me i had to wait until 10:30 to take my first dose. i will definitely ask. also im not sure if im in the part A,B,C or D. they were rushing me around getting all my test done. I have to say that i am very dissappointed in the dermatologist associated with this trial. I canceled my normal drs appt because i figured my 3 mo exams would be part of this. He barely even looked at one arm and my shins. plan on making a new appt with my previous derm. for next week he is very thorough.
