    Hello, I am looking for advice on immunotherapy. I am stage 3A and recently found out that my melanoma has the BRAF gene. But I am worried about the side affects. I am also a type one diabetic with celiacs disease so I really don’t need any more issues. If anyone could inform me of what they experienced during the immunotherapy if would really help my decision making. My oncologist also told me that there isn’t enough studies that suggest the immunotherapy would be beneficial for a stage 3A.
