Hi!
So sorry to hear you’ve been going through this! I had stage I melanoma 5 years ago and have been diagnosed with stage IV since last summer after a recurrence. I’ve been on immunotherapy since then, and while it has been a bumpy road, I’ve been having a good response so far! I am really happy this treatment has been developed to help and hope that it will help you, too! This journey has been a challenge for sure, but it’s also made me so much stronger and I have really grown so much. I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed for you!

I have had a few melanomas lower leg , neck pelvis the last in my groin .it was huge they removed a kilo . I had immunotherapy . I have been stable for 5 yrs good luck with your treatment whatever you choose . I recently had a scare I found a lump in my knee lucky for me it’s came back after an x-Ray that it’s not cancer .unlucky for me it’s patallofemeral osteoarthritis it’s a rarer form that causes bony growth in the knee .
