Good news today!

My oncology visit today showed my WBC continuing to go down, this time from 113 to 101! The Brukinsa is definitely working as planned.

On the subject of melanoma, this has not been mentioned to me even though my oncologist knows I am headed for a vacation in the Caribbean. Granted that at my age (82) I will not be sporting any bikinis, and I always avoid too much sun, it is good to know so I will be extra careful this trip. Thanks!

That's good news! I started on Brukinsa 17 months ago with a WBC of 201. I'm now down to a WBC of 8 and feeling great!
