Re: How fast can skin mets occur

Just checking to let everyone know that my cancer markers have decreased significantly over the past two months. I see my oncologist this week and will have my markers measured again. My next brain MRI is March 22. We are hoping for continued positive news on the brain front.

Wellness to you all!
