      My last MRI show signs of early Leptomeningeal disease (brain tumors) metastatic melanoma. They want to do a biopsy of one of the tumors to make sure is LM disease before trating with standard protocol (radiation plus quimo)

      Few questions:

      Has anyone had this procedure? I'm a bit scare of it.

      Is Zelboraf  or Temodar treatments good for a NON B-raf mutation patient?

      Is anything left for me outthere besides radio-quimo?

      Thanks
