        Just started this treatment in February down at the University of Colorado and this month I have my first MRI and CT Scan since then. I am truly encouraged by the results of the drug. I tried radiation and IL2 and didn't qualify for BRAF, so this drug is a blessing. I've only had a few side effects from the drug, but nothing bad.

            vicki,

            That is great. If blood pressure is the big thing, My tumors are stable also and now I'm going to Denver only once a month. I'll continue to pray for you and everyone on this site.

                Had my scan last week after two months on the drug and everything is stable. No new tumors or growths and the existing tumors have not grown. God is good. Now for another two months and see what happens.

                    I had a little bit of stomach pain the first few weeks. I think it was my body getting used to the drug. But I'm feeling better now.

                        I am doing pretty good. Not very many side effects. The worst is my hands and feet peeling and a little tender.
