Bio

Started with a bleeding mole on my back which came back as an aggressive Stage 2B. Excision and analysis of lymph nodes and then six months of “watching”. Stage 3 came next with a lymph node tumor followed by surgery to remove and the initiation of Opdivo. Then Stage 4 with a dozen distant tumors, initiation of Yervoy. Complete remission after 4 Yervoy sessions and that was 4 years ago.
