              Thanks for the reply. My dad has mucosal melanoma wild type. Since we live in small country on Balkan unfortunately non of the new approved therapies is covered by insurance, somehow we collected money for 6 rounds of keytruda and that is it πŸ™ other problem is the melaboma specialist…not existing such here πŸ™ so my source of knowledge is this precious forum and advices for all of you.. He is too weak now to go travel abroad so I try to find out if chemotherapy will do any good or I have to leave therapies out.. I know it souds like dead end but I know that God takes care for my dad and things will work out. He must win this terrible melanoma!!!

                          If only all of us could be equal in the health system.. in my country none of the immunotherapies is for free.. we could afford only 6 doses πŸ™
                          Would you try chemo/interferon/IL2 if you are at my position?
