Hi there
My journey was that I had Melanoma stage 3 in 2018 . I had immunotherapy but unfortunately I had to stop the treatment in 2019 because I was developing Arthritis.
I had to have also a kneereplacement because my right knee was so inflamed and I couldn't walk before anymore. Still I am not 100 % fit but I don't have cancer anymore
Glory to God
Hi Afia and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
While I'm sorry to read that you were diagnosed with melanoma and then arthritis it's great that you're now cancer free
It would be great if you could pop something about your diagnosis and treatment into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
