since i had a reoccurance in the same spot 5 weeks out…i asked that the tumor be genetically tested so more effective treatment could be given…understanding what they test for and matching targeted therapy options were confusing to me…i stumbled upon this paper and, of course it's written by a drug rep, but still informative…

Excellent, Boots. There are some great trials out right now for BRAF mutations. Keep in mind though, that many of them require that you not have systemic treatment prior to enrollment, so if you are serious about wanting in, you might want to wait on the recommended therapy. It will take at least 2 weeks to get the BRAF result back.
