      This is awesome!!!    As soon as I clear up my 2/11/15 post surgical brain infection I am going in for another SRS and then start Anti Pd-1 treatment.   Was a bit anxious having to delay treatment while this infection clears but can't start anti pd-1 with infection as it might cause a flare up. Posts like this are so great to hear and really give one the strength to keep moving forward! Congratulations on this amazing news!

      Apologies. I reread your post and saw the skin scan derm referral request. I took you too far along to a post diagnosis team. Dr Bronin gave the best skin scans I have ever had in my life. Peering everywhere in quadrant under a high power lamp while in the exam room. I have yet to find a derm with a thorough an exam. It boggles my mind how many over the years have given me a scan under a recessed ceiling fluorescent light bulb. Could never figure that out. I have also had some dermis ask why I want a skin scan for melanoma since I aleady progressed to stage IV. I figured since I am invested in killing the Mel that slipped into my body I should try to keep more from developing on the outside. Love to hear any  opinions if I am just wasting time doing scans.  Thanks.
