                      Hi Bill! We’re “neighbors”, I live in Cortland 🙂

                      My Mel journey also began as a nodular melanoma, mine on my back in 2016. After a second appearance of the beast, and a positive lymph node I began keytruda and I had my 3rd treatment last week, so far no side effects to speak of! My oncologist has mentioned 18 months for treatment, and then we go into somewhat unknown territory and we will have to decide at that time whether to continue or stop. He will be scheduling me for scans here in the next week or 2.

                      Wishing you continued good results!

                          Hey Tex! So happy to hear you’re still handling the treatments well and that you are already seeing results! I go for round 2 of Pembro on the 16th, still waiting to find out when they plan to add the TVEC.

                          Keep on keeping on!

                            Good luck to you! Fingers crossed #2 is as uneventful as #1.

                              Good luck to you! I can’t imagine all of these healthy changes can be anything but beneficial. You’ve got this!

                                Hi Ted,
                                Curious what your doc said about the spot on your chest? I have a spot on my back that sounds very similar to what you describe. Appeared quite suddenly, looks like a large pimple. I have a dermatologist appointment Monday morning to have it checked.
