        My dad was put on implumimab and it just about killed him.  He is now on the Zelboraf and it has been working great.  We did find a spot in his left femur last week so they are going to up the zelboraf.  I have only good things to say about Zelboraf.

              HI  I am so sorry to hear about your mom.  Unfortunatley I do know what you are going through.  My dad has stage 4 metetastic melanoma.  We had a negative pet scan last time and they told us are previous test the preliminary results were negative.  we got to the doctor office and the results were not negative they found a spot in his left femur.  We are also running out of options.  Ellis Fischel in columbia missouri is a great hospital.  You should deffinatly check into it.  My  dad is on Zelboraf and it is pill form; It is 4 pills twice a day but we had to dose reduce and take 3 pills twice a day and since this new cancer came back they are thinking about radiation of the femur an uping the pills to full dose.  My dad also can't take the chemo drugs.  He did a clinicle trial for the implumimab and it just about killed him.  It produced and auto immune response and cause sarcoidosis to flair up and went into his lungs and all over his body.  Best Wishes to you and your mom.  You should check out Ellis Fischel in columbia Missouri and Anderson MD hospital in Texas.  It was rated number 1 in the united states
