      Hi All,

      Diagnosed Stage 4 no existing primary and given 5 months to live back in December 2011. Needless to say, I’m still here. (4 recurrences, 4 oncologists, 3 surgeries, radiation, several immunotherapy clinical trials: graduated from vemurafinib to Ipi to finally pembrolizumab which worked but gave me AI hepatitis so no more of that.) NED just about 5 years now with scans to come next month. It’s been an incredible body, mind, soul  life lesson.
