        Congratulations; here's hoping you will continue to receive good news.  I have just begun taking Zelboraf (day 3) so am quite excited to hear about such positive results.

              I wish you all the best, Colleen.  I completed my year of Interferon 7 years ago.  That first month of daily infusions is a bit of a blur, but I do recall how much I hated the taste in my mouth when receiving the drug.  I sucked a lot of Lifesavers candy.  In the following months I remember constantly feeling just  like I was coming down with the flu; achiness and fatigue.  But, that didn't keep me from enjoying life and it won't you either.  Fresh air and light exercise is what helped me each day – that, and supportive family and friends.  Hang in there, you will feel like yourself again.
