      As I said in  my older post, picture of CT Scan  was showing shrinking of lungs nodule. In fact after seeing my onc this week he said that one lung nodule  has disappeared!! and the 2 others are smaller. Great News! The sad thing is that I have an other (which I didn't know) in the groin that is shrinking as well. The onc didn't look much worried about this last one as long as the Zel is working.

I asked him why I was not informed of this before and he said sometimes radiologist don't mentioned everything…On the other hand, being long time moving between bed and sofa I gained some weight and a significant increase of cholesterol, uric acid and triglyceride in my blood test as know been detected. I am now taking 40mg at night of Cardil. This is a most common side effect of Zelboral. I will start walking everyday for an hour. Next visit is 19 march to discuss this HDL problem. Next scan will be in May. I'am very satisfied with this early results and keep on with 8 pills a days

                Zelboraf is working! That's great news, Francois! Good for you!

                Yes, doctors who "neglect to mention" certain things really piss me off, too. That is why I ALWAYS get copies of all lab tests and reports (radiology, dermatology, etc) and read them myself. They are a little hard to understand at the beginning, but it gets easier with practice. 

                Meanwhile, here's to success! Try to get yourself to eat healthfully and get some moderate exercise so you can keep your immune system strong. It's your best friend in your fight against melanoma.
