        Hi Cheri! Let me add one more voice to the very small chorus. I just got diagnosed in March with stage II vulvar mucosal melanoma. I had 28 lymph nodes removed last Wednesday and my doctor is recommending Keytruda. I would love to hear other people’s experiences with this drug.

          Good to hear! I have the same diagnosis and am recovering from the bilateral lymph node dissection. Not sure what’s next, but it’s good to know it’s not necessarily a death sentence.
