Hi,
I wanted to give hope to other braf patients. I am officially 1 year out of treatment and clean CT scan. I had folfoxiri and surgery on my distant lymph nodes and radiation. I am planning the best summer full of travel with my now adult kids. Wishing all of you best health. My onco is moving CT to 6 months.

Thank you both. My understanding is that my treatment was not standard. I had the lymph nodes surgically removed and received radiation in this area before my surgery.
