      I am currently being treated at the Arizona Cancer Center associated with the University of Arizona. Banner bought them and now all of the melanoma specialists have left or are leaving.  I was receving great care but that is going away.

      The only option there is to be treated by an oncologist trained in another form of cancer. If anyone can suggest a doctor in AZ that is a melanoma specialist please let me know. I will have to travel but want to keep it to 8 hrs or less away from Tucson.  I am currently stage 4 and have had ippi and am currently on Keytruda and have done radiation on 2 of my lung mets. I am hoping to try t-vec when it comes out.
