      Dr. Allison won the Nobel Prize on Oct. 1, 2018 and I remember being awe struck as I heard about it on the radio. On Oct. 12 th I was diagnosed with stage IV melanoma and on Nov. 2 nd I received the drug he helped invent. Definitely an eye opening experience and I feel extremely blessed to be able to enjoy the benefits of his life’s dedication.
      Thank you to Dr. Allison and many others who dedicate their careers to help people like us. Eternally grateful.
