  I was diagnosed 4b in early 2007. Keep a great attitude, I decided that cancer might kill but I wasn't going to die of it. Enjoy life! Don't dwell on the disease. For me I was amazed by and looked forward to the treatments. In total 7 Yervoy and 33 Keytruda. October 2016 scans showed The melanoma was in remission! Keep the faith.

  I had over a dozen brain lesions between Oct 2013 &a Mar 2015 treated by SRS. Fortunately my Dr recommended that instead of whole brain radiation. I currently am in remission.
