      Hey Warriors! I hope this finds you well and either in the thick of the fight (and winning) or savoring a recent victory. Coming up on my next round of Pembro this week and getting stitches out, finally, from most recent surery so I'm fired up!! 

      I've read some really inspiring posts tonight as I have been absent for several days…I have also read some posts common to all of us at one point or another in this journey and I pray that all of us find the strength each day to battle this beast.

      It has also come to my attention there has been a recent attempt to turn this into a research debate forum, which is not really my cup of tea nor do I think most people come here looking to debate the finer points of oncology theory and research, we are here for support and fellowship!  I suspect there are some incredibly bright folks, in some well-funded labs that are well suited to sort that out…don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of developing anything that works for Melanoma (in humans) and I have had great success thus far with an experimental drug myself in a clinical trial. My hope is that we can stay focused on the battle ahead, enjoy the sweet victories, and support one another when the momentum swings in the direction of the enemy.

      You folks are the best! Stay the course, fight the good fight, and warrior on!

      PS Quick shout out to Melanoma Mike, hope you are feeling well brother! 

      PSS Bubble and Ed…you continue to rock!

                And also kindly posting rebuttals to quackery like if someone posted that mangos applied daily might cure cancer.

                  Anybody can have their say, its called freedom of speech, the first amendment of the US constitution.

                    Actually, the First Amendment only protects a citizen’s free speech from being interfered with by the government. 

                    Anyway, why not discuss what matters the content and what's changed over time in studies. It seems like it would be more helpful without taking anonymous pot shots at someone.

                          Thanks C! At the “juice bar’ (as Melanoma Mike calls it) as I type this…I can feel the Pembro bringing the hurt to melanoma cells right now and it feels amazing!!

                          Tex,

                          I'm sure you're itching to get those stitches out! Keep up the positive energy and warrior on. John is feeling fine and doing great, too. As you probably recall, right behind you in the Pembro treatments. And he wishes you good luck!
