Hi Mary,Jenny
I’m still here. Mary I apologize for not not getting back to you and thank you guys for asking about me. I have had a pretty rough month. First found out that nivo was not working as I had another recurrence on my leg. Then was hit with more bad news with mri. Mri showed 2 of the 3 spots that had srs had shrunk to 1mm but the 3rd had ruptured and was bleeding also another new spot has shown up. They had just started me on ipi/nivo combo with 1 dose but decided we needed something to work fast so they pulled me off the immunotherapy and put me back on braf drugs. Last year I was on them for 4 months and had a good response and no side effects this time for whatever reason I had major side effects and almost ended up being admitted to hospital. Low blood pressure,chills,headaches,Ldh and liver function were all jacked up you name it I had it. Mostly all my fault for letting it go to far when I knew something was wrong. Feel way better now and restarted pills today so we’ll see what happens. Plan is another mri next week and probably srs to the 2 problem spots then it sounds like we may try ipi/nivo again. I’ve had a lot of meds pumped through me in a short amount of time so that was probably part of the issue also. Again thank you guys for worrying about me it means a lot. I’ve been reading the board I just haven’t had the ambition to post.-

Damn Jamie! I hate that it's been so rough on you! I have been thinking about you and praying you get a reprieve from this disease. Happy there is a plan in place and confident those pills will knock that melanoma straight to hell! Please keep us all posted and I know I have offered before and will keep offering, but seriously how I can help you and your family? My son just got a 9 week old English Cream Golden Retriever, if you like puppies or your kids do I could stop over with her. She's adorable and her name is Zoey! Hang in there. I wish I could make this all go away!
