For everyone struggling with this dreadful illness
I want to share my good news to show you all that there is hope & encourage you all to keep fighting
after 7 months & 12 treatments of immunotherapy
4 ipi & nivo
8 nivo
I am now in full remission …
I was diagnosed with stage 4 with mets to lungs & brain as well subcutaneous mets in May & as I’m Braf negative immunotherapy was the only treatment available to me basically I had no plan B which was devastating…
so miracles do happen
keep fighting

Hi suzie
I’m doing ok Ive just reached the end of my first year of treatment I’m on the maintenance nivolumab
I had changed to monthly treatment for 4 doses but wasn’t tolerating it well my pituitary gland is damaged also my adrenal glands diagnosed with adrenal insufficiency so I’m on steroids 3 times a day now & for life but it’s manageable so changed back to every 2 weeks & im tolerating it well
my last scans in march were clear no evidence of disease so it’s all going the right way for me thankfully I just hope it continues.
how are you doing?
