    It has been a long time since I have posted, but I wanted to report that my daughter Jessica, who had a 14 cm on her liver two years ago, has finally had her liver resected and has NO evidence of disease!!! This will be her third time cheating death as she was diagnosed at 20 and has had initial mole removed, lymphectocmy and now half of her liver.(she is now 26) She has been on Yervoy, Keytruda, Obdivio, Y90 Radiation crystals, had three embolizations and then Braf Inhibors. While this fight for her was long and grueling, she never gave up. We are thrilled with the results and pray she will stay melanoma free for years to come. Never give up!!!! Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida saved her life!

      Hi,

      Thank you for sharing. Had lymph nodes groin removed last year and CT scan on Monday. Letter dropped on mat this morning saying an appointment has been made for MRI liver with contrast. Already have my mind racing to what the probable /possible future diagnosis might be. Your post has given comfort and hope in the inevitable wait time for the outcome. Trying to tell myself it might be something benign but there is another darker voice that is drowning that one out for now …

      Delighted to hear the good news…
