        I was diagnosed with Stage IV rectal mucosal melanoma during a routine colonoscopy in March. Multiple mets to the liver. I was referred to Dana Farber & entered a clinical trial of Ipilumab & Nivolumab (immunotherapy) plus Sargramostim. After just 3 treatments, repeat scans showed a 45% decrease in liver tumors & the primary rectal tumor is GONE! This treatment 7 Dana Farber Melanoma Center are saving my life. Go there!
