I have been now 7 weeks o Zelboraf, and last tuesday I had a cat scan. My oncologist sent me an email last night telling me that he checked the pictures of scan and noticed that the 2 nodules in my lungs are SMALLER! (defitive report will take few days more to come out). Furthermore It's been more than 4 months since my last surgery and surgery zone shows no envidence of any tumors in my groin. (I had 2 relaps within less than 6 months undernith the scar). I am on 8 pills a day can deal pretty good with side effects.
