Hello everyone
My wife has melanoma that has spread into her lungs and brain. She had been diagnosed as end of life, but a really rare unintended effect of previous radiotherapy on her brain meant that her own immune system starting fighting the cancer. This allowed the medical team to start her on a course of immunotherapy.
However her mental health is really suffering and I think she is slipping into depression. She won't see any friends, which I hear is really important to the success of the treatment (positive mental attitude and aiming to live a normal life)
Her eyesight has been affected by the melanoma so she can't read or write from tablets or her phone.
I have yet to read any messages, but will haveca thorough look through the forum this weekend. I know my wife needs help from people that understand the journey she is on and can offer advice and support.
She is concerned about fatigue, and brain fog and when this might start to lessen, also when immunotherapy effects might begin to.lessen (we believe 2nd plus 3rd treatments are toughest?), and she iscdeserate to achieve some measure of independence. She worries about how her friends will treat her when they see her, so she is avoiding meeting them.
Best wishes
Alec
