        Hi Deborah,

        My father has a similar stage melanoma and has just finished chemo. However he is very weak.

        If he gets stronger, perhaps the braf and mek treatment could work. Do you know if it is available just at the UCSF hospital. Do you have contacts there?

        Thanks for your help

        Best
