MEK Clinical Trial - End of Cycle 4 Update

Travis and I spent the past few days at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for his pre-cycle 5 restaging. Basically, T goes through almost all the tests as he did when before he started the MEK: MRI, ECHO, 6 min walk, rehab, eye exam, etc.

Great news!!! Since starting the MEK, T's tumor has shrunk 17%!!! This is great news and we are thrilled! The only side effects so far are lighter colored hair, some slight fatigue (but more overall energy), and a rash seen typically with MEK.

More details to come. Thank you for all the prayers, thoughts, good vibes, etc!!!
