        Hi Karen,

        Thank you for your response. I was beginning to wonder if this type of recurrence is few and far between lol. I honestly don't know my BRAF status. I don't recall ever seeing it on my reports. How is that determined? I have had plenty of labs but I'm thinking I have not been tested for it. As for the trials, I was not a candidate following surgery since I was considered NED after the removal. I assume that if this satellite is in fact the melanoma again, I will be eligible. I am going to do some reading on PD1 trial. Did you have your recurrence removed?
