Bio

Hello my name is Karen. I am 64 and back in February i started experiencing shortness of breath. After 13 days in the hospital I was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic melanoma in the plura (lining) of my right lung. I tried 3 infusions of immunotherapy in a clinical trial and it did not seem to be working. Now I am on targeted therapy and so far so good.
