Hi. I was diagnosed 2b melanoma in 2011 then 2013 was moved to stage 4. Liver. Lungs and other areas. I was put on ippi immunotherapy 4 doses which reduced my tumors by 50%. Had a break from treatment then 2015 a brain tumor appeared. Gamma knife cleared it up. 2016 lymph nodes up in chest was put on keydruda. While starting it developed a tumor in small intestine which blocked my bowels and was repeatedly been sick over night. Scan showed tumor and was surgical removed. Continued on treatment for further 2 years. Finished last June 2020 NED. Next scans are 31st August 2021.
Pray for all who is going through any cancer. My journey as made me more appreciate things in life. Learned to live life more. I have ups and downs emotionally but try keep strong for my family. Xx
God bless you all.

Hi Scooby123
That's absolutely fantastic that after everything you've gone through you're now NED!
I wondered if you meant to post this in the melanoma group as the members there would certainly like to read this good news story. Clicking on the link I've created will take you to the group where you could copy and paste this in to a new post there.
