Hi my name is Sam, I went to stage 1V metastatic melanoma in June 19 - I had 4 sessions of SRS and took targeted therapy. This has now stopped working and I switched over to immunotherapy on Tuesday
so far so good is there anyone about who would like to meet up? I’m unable to drive due to brain mets and my family seem to be ignoring me, I feel so incredibly alone and I’m lying on the sofa in tears - I’ve recently found a tumour on my spine so my back pain is off the scale! I’m not sure where to turn
