        Thank you so much for reaching out. It’s wild that you had growth off of a 1b but this disease is so unpredictable. I appreciate you offering to talk through it, and that your treatment has been going well. I live near a very strong cancer center as well, so I also feel fortunate. I’ve been investigating other treatments and plan to talk with my oncologist about some of them.

        Since I started this post my PET scan has come back clean, and I’ve started adjuvant Keytruda treatments with my second one this Friday.

            Thank you Ed! This was very insightful and reassuring to read. I am glad to hear your treatment was a success, and even more glad that you took the time to answer some of my questions.

            As of now I am being staged at 3b pending the results of my PET scan. I’m anxious to hear the treatment approach my oncologist will endorse. Will definitely be asking about BRAF+ testing.
