I am looking for people with Melanoma who have had a complete response to either PD-1 or PDL-1.. is there anyone on here who shares my similiar situation? I need advice, information, and answers…

     

     

    Thank you

    Carrie

      I want to share the amazing results with Cannabis oil cancer miracle cure. My wife just recovered from breast cancer just 19 weeks of using it. She have being having this breast cancer on her left side which she have been battling for over 3 years.
       
      More importantly, she is no longer having to deal with the embarrassment and annoyance of Chemo, Radiations and those crazy cancer drugs which is been recommended by oncologist nor daily fatigue. If you have been in the situation, you will know what it means to be free indeed.

      Carrie,

      Wonderful to hear the PDL-1 drug is having a positive impact on other cancers as well.  We do have a wide spectrum of responders on this forum and many of whom are complete responders.  Not sure if we have any PDL-1 complete responders but I know we have several PD-1 complete responders.  I'm a partial responder from a ongoing ipi/nivo trial.  I've been stable about a year.  I might suggest you expand upon your situation and what your questions are in order to get the ball rolling.  I suspect you might be wondering about the durability of the drug and whether you need the drug to maintain your complete response.  We've had a couple discussions on that topic and if that is indeed your question I'll see if I can link you to those discussions.

        Hi Carrie!  I thought I would respond even though I am not a complete responder.  I hope to be someday but….who knows.  I am currently getting infusions of Keytruda every three weeks.  I get scans every twelve weeks.  I don't know what your questions are, but my doctor told me if my CT scans and MRI of my brain eventually show no evidence of disease, then I would have a PET scan.  If that comes back NED then I would have four more infusions of Keytruda and I assume followed by scans, etc. 

        I am so happy to hear that you are a complete responder!  Thank you for posting.  We always love to hear positive news on this board and lately we've had some spammers who I think might be causing people to not post quite as much. 

        Best Wishes for you!

      Hi Carrie,

      My husband has been on Mercks PD-1 trial for a little over a year and has had a complete response. He started with very low tumour burden (one small-ish tumour in a lymph node), so I am not sure if this is why. He previously had a relatively long complete response to one of the braf inhibitors (also a trial) – 2.5 years.

      He was given the option to come off the trial and take a watch and see approach, but we decided against it for now. Its a 2 year trial,so he will finish treatment towards the end of this year anyway.

      Im also interested to hear from other complete responders – congrats on your response!

      Thanks,

      Lisa
