Bio

I had Melanoma in 1 lymph node in my neck with no other external source in 2017.  I had a full lymph resection performed and was told to start Opdivo immunotherapy about 3 months after surgery.  I stopped after 1 months worth of treatment because of the $8,000 price tag after insurance.  Ever since, I have had one health problem after another.  I get every virus going around, but they all last 3 to 4 times longer than a normal person.  If I had the choice to go back, I would never have had Immunotherapy.
