Quick update on the recent shoulder/neck tumor.  We saw Dr. Amaria, Rusty's primary Melanoma physician, today.  MRI and scans taken yesterday indicate that brain, chest, abdomen and pelvis tumors have greatly improved since last scans in May.  Because of that, and as long as he feels good,  they are going to keep Rusty on the clinical trial protocol and treat this new growth with radiation to shrink it or keep it from growing larger.  They are very optimistic about the decrease in the body tumors, and feel that "palliative" "local" radiation to he shoulder and neck is all that is needed now.

We are very happy with the results.  Will be back up here next week for regular visit.

Thanks to all for support, caring and love!
