James Cancer Center is one of the top ten cancer centers in the US. And their are also a in the top ten for their Melanoma cancer. I have been on 3 different treatments, my first choice was giving myself shots for 2 weeks and off 2 weeks. But that did not work , they found after 3 months that the cancer had moved to my lungs, so I started the IPPI treatmens, after the second treatment  of IPPI  is when I started having seizures and found that I had a brain tumor. 3 weeks after that surgery they found that I had 7 more tumors on my brain and I did the clinical trial with the first tumor which did not work. I had the gamma knife radiation done on Thursday and it was a sucess. But that does not mean that the tumors will not return. The cancer mets on my lungs are growing and have spread. But the tumors on the brain were more important then the lungs at that time. But I go back to Columbus this Thursday to meet with my Oncologest  Dr. Kendra, She is a wonderful Dr. and as far as I am concerned she is the best. I may not make it throught this cancer but I know that Dr. Kendra and all the other Drs are doing everything theat they can to help save my life and I am very grateful to everyone at the James Cancer Center. I am from WV and when the Dr. down here found the orginal melanoma mole they sent me strraight to Columbus. I did call the Hospital in Huston Texas that everyone talked about but they told me that James was one of the best hospital in the US and that my best best bet was to stay with them and I did and am very happy with my treatments and all my DR. And as for all the trials that you have mentioned James does have them and many more. I was the 4 th person in the US to to the bendmuskim trial on my brain that did not work. I did the Yervoy [IPPI] that did not work for me. I will find out my nest step this Thursday. Please keep me in your prayer along with everyone else on this panel. Melanom is deadly and we all know it but are all hopeful that they will find a cure and soon! Thank you so much for your concersn But I promiese you that James Cancer Center is a wonderful cancer center/

wow I just saw her yesterday to LOL and yes Dr. Kendra is an amazing woman that I have alot of respect for. I do drive through there. I just rented a cabin in Columbus for a month so that I dont have to drive it everyday for radiation and am supper excided not to have to say in a motel or drive it every day.  I dont know how radiation is going to effect me but I also know 6 hours of driving a day is way to much for me plus the time the radiation takes. Hotels are so expensive and I simply can not afford them. But life is great and I will move foward with my treatment and pray that this is the one.
