Hello all, I have been diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma march of 2024. I am currently on immunotherapy. It has been ok but I’m looking into alternative medicine, if anyone knows what helps please share. I have been taking black seeds oil as well.
Hi Lola06 and a very warm welcome to the group which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I was diagnosed with Stage 2 melanoma 8 years ago but, as I only had conventional treatment, can't recommend any alternative medicines to try alongside your immunotherapy.
While you're waiting for replies, it would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and treatment to date 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.
Hi Lola
I’m in a similar situation to you,
a friend recommended cbd oil & I’ve been using it helps with inflammation & sleep
also I’m in remission after only 6 months of immunotherapy so perhaps it helps perhaps not but it can’t do any harm when ur stage 4 & need more time
best of luck
