        You are right.  This has been such a whirl wind, I didn't check my local Oncologists creds. I couldn't agree more, Melanoma Oncologist is my best bet!  Sometimes we miss the obvious. I will certainly be bringing this up tomorrow in my appointment!.

              It is extremely encouraging to hear you are still in the game after four years Mary!!  Thank you for that, as today has been a bad day.  Thank you for your reply!  The treatment plan the Melanoma Oncologist at Mayo recommend is the same…cisplatin/tmeozolomide above immunotherapy. My thoughts are to keep immunotherapy in the tool box for IF it comes back. My lymph nodes were clear and I am thankful for my prayer warriors.  I have an appointment tomorrow with my local Oncologist who is recommending the immunotherapy. Have an appointment next week with a 3rd Oncologists..Melanoma Oncologist, at the Med Center. This disease has been extremely hard to wrap my head around as I am a planner and when the answers to your questions over and over again is "they don't know", it is very discouraging. I need ground beneath my feet, I am a fighter, but I feel like I am swinging in the wind.  My time is running out on figuring out a treatment, I need to decide.  Prayers for your continued success in being disease free Mary!! I will keep you posted.

                    Thank you for your feedback Wendy.  The Chemo treatment was highly recommended by Mayo. The immunotherapy was advised here locally. Can you expand on why you are against chemo?  Greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
