        Hi Marilyn,

        my daughter Gaëlle (stage IV) started GSK Braf last Friday. Reading your posts gives me so much hope !

        Can you tell me how long it took for Gary to really feel the mets were shrinking? Did he see a quick improvement?

        All my best wishes to you and Gary. Thank you for sharing the good news.

            Hi Marilyn and thank you indeed for your reply. I'm very happy and have forwarded your reply to Gaëlle.

            Gaëlle (30 yo) has got mets in her left breast and neck, abdomen, ovaries, vertebrae. She was on Ipi for a while but it didn't work. So she is now one of the 15 French patients on GSK Braf (this is her 4th day) and your answer really gives me a boost.You made my day ! Thanks.
            Will keep in touch and tell you how she is. Next check up on Nov. 19.

            Say hi to Gary! I wish him all the best.

             Happy Halloween to you all in Michigan!    smiley
