    Hi, wanting to offer hope to anyone new to melanoma. 2 years ago I was diagnosed with Stage 3, 6+ years after primary was removed. 1 year ago it progressed to Stage 4. I am now 8 months after last surgery with no evidence of disease. Just in time for Christmas! So thankful, and wanting to give encouragement to whomever needs it. ❤

      Six weeks ago, I was diagnosed with stage 4 mel with three tumors in my brain.  They surgeically removed one of the tumors and are threeting the smaller ones with radiation.  I also have 2 growths in my right lung.  I am being treated with Nivo and Ipil.

      Thank you for your post…it is very encouraging!
