I had a weird appointment with my doctor today, weird because this was the first appointment where there were no scans to review. The scan frequency was recently changed to every twelve weeks from every six.
I was anxious about my blood work though, specifically my bilirubin. Not to worry, all was fine and I got enough Zelboraf given to me for another six weeks. It’s now a little over 37 months on Zelboraf.

Congratulations Dick! You give hope to all people on Zelboraf!
My husband had his 2nd scan yesterday, being on Zelboraf almost 4 months. Tumors are stable in size (all four about 1cm), though the radiologist can not say for 3 of 4 tumors whether it is scar tissue or still tumor. The two subq's are much more soft now than some weeks ago. Seems to be good news? We see the doctors next week to discuss results.

It is always good to hear of your progress. I am glad your liver function labs were good! Nice to have a break from those frequent scans, too, I am sure 🙂

This is such great news! My husband has been on Zelboraf for one month, and we know it is working, even without scans. You give us such hope! May you continue to be strong and healthy.
