We were all a bit aprehensive on the ride to Vegas praying that he would have a certain genetic Mutatation that has been most successful in fighting melanoma. Yeah our prayer answered The Doctor said John should have have immediate results that could hold off the cancer for several months and he should begin to feel better. While this is no cure we are cautiously optomistic. The Doctor and nurses at this facility are so caring I just really am impressed by the compassion . So we await the day the chemo drug will arrive which is called vemurafenib a realitively new drug. The nurse said if this were a diagnosis 3 years ago we would not have these chemo drugs. The good news are the side effects are minimal. This will be a long journey however I just can not thank Kelly Shuffler and Becky collins enough for leading us to this Doctor. Hope Springs Eternal. Today good news. John is very tired today after the trip, however I look forward to the days when he is laughing and on the baseball diamond coaching the youth of Kingman and our boys and wanting to go to laughlin to play.
