Bio

I was first diagnosed with a weird desmoplastic melanoma on my right shoulder that was surgically resected in jan 2007. Sentinel lymph nodes were clear. Borders were clear.
in Dec 2021 I was diagnosed with a 4.8cm right middle lobe mass in my lung.
i have been on dual immunotherapy since Jan 2022. Tumor has regressed to sub-centimeter. I am headed for surgery in a couple of weeks as the lung is the only metastasis I have.
