        How is your wife doing now? During treatment did she have to stop and be put on steroids? How many years has she been a stage IV survivor? I had surgery on one big tumor in the brain and gamma on Two smaller ones…. they are recommending. Opdivo + Yervoy also …. I’m on the fence because of what I’ve read about side effects. Any info would be appreciated. Thank you, LauraCO

          Tracy, thank you for your help….. have you had any follow up scans yet? Is this your 1st Melanoma site? What is the special diet you all use for colitis. I have been a lacto-ovo vegetarian for 40 years, but still have sensitive stomach.
