      Hi Family, below is my GoFundMe link so i can pay to see Dr.Hamid a Melanoma specialist as
      Alot of you already know or have heard of him in Melanoma medical field, as much as i was apposed to doing it, my wife put it together…i know Hamids initial consult is $700 after that i have no idea, havnt seen him yet but, i do know i can change my insurance around back to straight Medi-Cal wich he takes! (Calif State ran Ins.) To get it switched from Kaiser to straight Medi-Cal can take up to 90 days “or less” im hoping!! I figure what ever money is left and unused i can donate here….thank you all for supporting me, i finally dropped my pride and now i know i need help….i love you guys…..https://www.gofundme.com/f/mike039s-melanoma-fight?utm_source=customer&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheet

                      Hello Mike, good decision!!!! I want to help but want to ask something: is credit card the only payment method accepted? If yes, I will find a way but PayPal would be easier for me.

                      Greetings and good vibes from Germany 🙂

                          finlu made it with credit card. Didn’t work the first try.

                          I’m stage IV since March 2019 and reading your posts since that day has given me so much hope and power to fight this. You are such an inspiration. We all want you to carry on fighting. Thank you for being our rock.

                          You rock!

                            Good luck, Mike! Hope you will get an appointment with Dr. Hamid ASAP!
                            A the same time, I think it would not hurt to inquire about that trial in San Diego, which uses IL-2 plus PD-1 in patients who become refractory to PD-1 9which is your situation). The goal is to overcome the resistance to PD-1 and get response back on truck. At least this is immunotherapy combo and not chemo. It any case, you need to act fast. Hope you will find a plan you are comfortable with!

                                Mike, I’m really glad you’re doing this. A word of encouragement: The drug trial I’m on was offered to me with a 15-20% success rate–not stellar, but it’s measurably helping, and now I have hope. Wishing you a great visit with Dr. Hamid. Big love to you and Hillary. Donation in.
