The Yeti Project is a blog intended for the support of our own yeti, and my husband, Cleve. Cleve is currently battling stage IV melanoma. This is a place where you can check on his status or lend your support. I hope you find it helpful and inspiring as we embark on this long journey of healing

Quick update
And yet another quick update. We finally got the results back on Cleve's B-RAF test and he has tested positive for the gene mutation. This means that he can take part in any study using the B-RAF drug which has shown to literally melt away most of the tumor. Tumors with the gene mutation respond better than tumors without, studies show. Our next hurdle is to find a study that involves this drug. We have an appointment in L.A. at the Angeles clinic next week. New York could not get us in for two to three weeks so we are really hoping for a promising study in California, we need to get started on treatment, like, two weeks ago. Alright, thanks folks, I'll keep you updated...
