Hello all… I haven't posted on the forum in a while pretty much because there wasn't much to say while I was on the clinical trial.
First a bit of history…
Original site right thumb, under nail, colorless melanoma, originally misdiagnosed 06/2014, positive diagnosis 05/2015. 06/2015 Distal amputation to remove the primary site, SNB to identify spread, SNB positive, complete disection performed 07/2015.
Began Clinical trial CA209-238 10/2015 CT scans, infusions, etc., etc.
Today… 7 months later, went from no side effects to all side effects for Nivo, trial suspended, put on steroids… next, 2cm nodule near the original SNB site (left elbow) identified plus a 10mm nodule in the left lung.
06/2015 2cm nodule removed, positive; lung biopsy tomorrow
Will keep you all posted on next steps… most probably, Moffitt, NYU and MSK for second opinions on what to do next.
Juan
