      When my wife and I first heard that my Melanoma returned with a vengence, we received much advice from our friends on diet and lifestyle. We always ate healthy, but decided to we were going to be all in on diet. After several weeks of hard dieting, we discussed the current diet with my Onc and his recommendation was just eat healthy. Nothing fancy, cut out the junk, limit preprocesses food, keep sugar limited. I've never used much alcohol, but since this journey, I've cut it out completely. And this was probably a good thing. After the third Yervoy/Opdivo combo treatment, I had a major setback with my liver. Had my liver been damaged by a history with alcohol, I'm not sure I would have been able to spring back with prednisone as well as I did and continue my treatment. Now I'm finished with the combo treatment and on #14 with Opdivo only. Last scan was completely clear!
