Well it turns out because of the recent brain mets and steroids, I don't qualify for any trials I was hoping for right now. The news was a little disappointing, but kind of expected and completely understandable. I know that if Zelboraf does work for me, it's only a temporary solution, which makes me a little nervous, but I remind myself a temporary solution is better than no solution, and if all works out, maybe it'll get me to a point of stability where I could qualify for a trial of some kind down the line.

I'll be seeing a doctor on Wednesday and hopefully get started on Zelboraf as soon as possible. I also have another brain MRI Monday morning to assess what might be a possible lesion or two, but might just be blood vessels. I'd be ok with either, just praying that nothing new shows up. I'm a little anxious and a little nervous at the moment, having the weekend of waiting in front of me. But I'm hanging in there and know these feelings will pass, as they have before, just have to stay focused, and remember all the things to be thankful and hopeful for. Thanks for hearing me out.
As always, I'm thinking and hoping for the best, for all of us.
