    Greetings friends!!

    It's been awhile since I've posted anything – mostly because nothing had changed.  I was doing Pembro, (I've done 21 bags) and it was working! Up until now, it has taken care of all of the peskey little in-transit buggers.  It was so cool to watch / feel the little suckers melt and go away.  I figured Pembro was winning the mel battle.  But in this past month I've had another in-transit pop up.  So I don't know what to think. Dang Mel! 

    I have scans again on Monday.  It's been 6 months since my last scan, so there' s a possibility of change (also a possibility that there's no change- but somehow that's not in the forefront of my mind). I'll talk with my Rock Star Doc and see what he has to say, but waiting and watching and wondering if I've failed another treatment take some active doing.  

    So anyway, this is how it is. I appreciate the comfort and wisdom of the community here.  There's nothing like it.

    Shalom,

    Julie

      Hi, Julie, our paths are similar. Same time frame, same Dr. same treatment. Just wondering what type of Melanoma you have? Mine is quite aggressive locally. Also, how soon did you become nerd on the Pembro? On bag number 11 Ned since number 9.

      Good luck with upcoming scans, Paul

      Hey Jules!  Good luck on your scans.  Whatever comes your way, you'll handle it in your usual methodical fashion (with the assistance of the Rock Star of course!)
