Are You Frustrated With Finding Effective Treatments For Melanoma?

I am very happy with my results from my immunotherapy treatment. When I had first started and had my first PET scan I had a small spot on my right lung a small spot on my liver and cancer in the bone where the main source was a swollen lymph node underneath my armpit. I have been getting treatment now for over a year but it did not take very long for me to see results as the cancer in my body was melting away... YES they are very strong drugs but I feel that they do work very well at least they did for me... And my cancer metastasized to my brain as well where I had to have surgery to have a tumor removed... Just my opinion hope it helps the group... GOD Bless All of Us Cancer Warrior's 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

You give me a glimmer of hope. My husband's is liver, spleen, lung, bone (several) & lymph nodes. He's had 2 rounds of Optivo/Yervoy. Will get scan after 3rd round if he lives that long. I feel like his body is wasting away quicky & he's getting so much swelling to his abdomen & legs/feet.

I had a rough start but thanks to my Oncology doctor she got me off that path. She put me on one that has worked great. Thanking her and God and my family for helping along the way. You just have to have faith and the right doctor.
