      My father has stage 4 Melanoma. It was removed off his leg March 2012 and again January 2013. Petscan was clear- 8 weeks later cancer is everywhere. He has had his first dose of yervoy… He was in the hospital before the treatment and now after- he can barely sit up has no energy, no appetite and needs hospital fluids… Has anyone else been this effected? I don’t think he can live like this through 2 more Yervoy treatments and then wait for the turn around…is there anyone out there who can give me hope.?
