Hi, I am new to the forum. I have Stage 4 melanoma, and I am on my second go round with Yervoy. I am getting more tumors, but the one causing the most trouble is in my stomach/intestine. It is next to my aorta and vena cava, and the surgeon says it is risky to take out, but if he doesn't I could have complete blockage. Has anyone else had this problem?

I am scared and angry. I have had melanoma for 2 years, and have had so many problems. I am getting tired of fighting. The thought of peritonitis from a exploding bowel is not the way I want to go, however.
Thanks!!!
