      I had similar Melanoma in 2013 and after two surgeries I start getting Keytruda Immunotherapy and after two infusions I was clean. I continue the treatment for 2 year every three weeks without any side effects and also full body imaging every six month. Now in Oct 2020 I am clean and getting imaging once a year to make sure nothing came back.
