      I was stage 2a in 2007 and went 6 years before 3b diagnosis. My doctor thought I would go along time before continuing on but a year later I am stage 4 with mets in my belly and my lung. So moving along can happen. The new treatments make me sure that even though I have progressed I will be here for a long time. I am strating ippi this week and hope to get into PD-1 compasionate use to treat this beast.

      While I was in the hospital they did a brain MRI which was negative and lots of testing and only came up with it being a rare side effect of the drugs.

      I had the usual 4 doses of ippi and then a scan with a scan one month later no growth but no shrinkage. I have had 7 doses of Keytruda  with one scan after 4 with some growth on some mets and one met had shrank a little. I am seeing a Melanoma specialist in Tucson AZ but need to know where to go next
