Hi folks. I haven't been on the bulletin board very much over the last six months, use to come here quite often when I was first diagnosed Stage IV, which will be four years ago in September! Just had my six month scans last week and my two remaining tumors remain essentially stable. So another six months before my next set of scans. Yahoo!!!

For those of you who don't know me, I was one of the very fortunate few folks who responded to an early BRAF inhibitor, Nexavar, which is also an anti-angiogenic. Have been on the medication for almost four years now. This drug is no longer used for Melanoma patients since it failed its Phase III trial for mel, but since it is still used for other cancers is available.
Although I don't come to this board much anymore, I am filled with gratitude for all the support I received here when I was first diagnosed. This is an awesome community!
