        Melanie-thank you so much for your words.  They are leading me to do more research about cancer care centers who may offer more cutting edge treatment for my mom's unique condition.  We have been told that mucosal melanoma does not carry the BRAF gene (or marker? – I'm an English teacher, not a scientist!!), but her glioblastoma is MGMT positive, so that is definitely a huge positive in treating the brain tumor.  Prayers headed your way in your personal battle with melanoma. 

        All the best,

        Stephanie
