My head and body rash has improved.  The photo of me with Bowen, my 15-year old, was taken one month after the previous photo and the photo of me in my office was taken last week.  The three photos, each about a month apart, show steady improvement in the head rash.
On March 5 I will have another PET Scan and an MRI.  Based upon the results of these scans, Dr. Grossman will decide if I should switch to an immune therapy drug, Ipilimumab, from my current chemotherapy drug, Zelboraf.
If I switch to the drug, and my body doesn’t reject it, it offers the best chance of long term success.  We are praying that Ipilimumab will work for me. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipilimumab
