Thank you Jerry,
They have made us very aware of the many possible side effects to look out for and have been really helpful to us giving us day and night numbers and even given us Methylprednisolone to use if after reporting a side effect to them and they feel we need to start it right away. Thanks for your input.

Linda,
The drs say that because we found nothing on his skin they cannot stage. They say they figure his own immune system took care of the original source. He noticed a lump in his groin and a couple of others there. They removed the larger one and it was melanoma. The surgery was to remove the others in the groin and down the leg a bit but while there they noticed nodes that didn't look normal near the stomach area. So the surgery started in the groin down his leg then at the bottom of the stomach and around the belly button. They sent tissue and tested for the Braf but this is not the kind he has. It's been since September that his last scan was so they want to do another to see where we are at. Thank you for the contact and note of encouragement. Sharon
