        if I extrapolate, it would suggest that those of us taking immune therapy might be at greater risk. This is just my thinking, with absolutely no medical knowledge. Interesting none the less.

        It reminds us of the interweaving of immunology and a host of diseases.

        When I said the article was not scientific I meant it is not a peer reviewed article

        I have become a hygiene zealot, realizing that to some degree I can control my fate with Covid, if not Melanoma.

        Plus I would hate to cheat the insurance company out of the $250,000 they have invested in me so far..

            A thought and a question for the scientifically inclined.

            Since my Melanoma seemingly has had 4 decades to gestate, maybe my immune system did a good job but succumbed to laws of math. Eventually one or two or ten mutations stuck.

            the question: does examination and blood test reveal exact immuno-deficiencies?
