Remission!!

I feel bad posting this as some of the people I have followed for the last year are not doing so well. In May of 2015 I had a stage 2B on the crown of my head, june of 2016 it became stage 4 with 1 tumor in my neck removed by surgury and 7 in my lungs that were non-surgical. I started the ipi/nivo combo in July 2016. After 5 combos and 13 nivo doses all 7 nodules in my lungs are gone!!!!!!!! I did have a 3 cm cyst on a kidney that was not there on my last scan but the radiologist and onocologist don't beleive it is melanoma and we will will look at it in 8 weeks and continue on the nivo every 2 weeks for now. So with the new spot on my kidney I am not as happy as could be but I will take it. For those who are not sure to go the combo treatment due to side effects for me it was worth all of them, even the 5 I am still dealing with everyday. I will always stay on this website as there are so many wonderful and very knowledgable people here. In 2015 I knew melanoma would show back up and it did, I expect it will again. Thank everyone for your support as it really means so much.
