Can you elaborate a little on what's new? Someone close to me had a melanoma scare on almost the same time frame, and had a lot of difficulty finding doctors who would take her seriously.


In the case of my wife, she would have been given a round of nivolumab or keytruda. These are immunotherapies that enable your immune system to kill the cancer cells.

You have to advocate very heavily. With melanoma, I wouldn’t mess around and seek at a minimum second opinions from the nearest major cancer center.
