Bio

My husband was diagnosed with advanced StageIV Metastatic Melanoma the end of July, 2017 and sent home to die. We were devastated. By the grace of God a dear friend connected us with Dr. O’Day 1st week of August, 207 and he said if we did nothing my husband would be dead in 3-4 weeks. He started his treatment the next day, it was a very rough 3 months trying to see what would work, but here he is 15 months later and went back to work after 4 months. He has of course some set backs, and side effects, but he is still here with me today, and we have hope that last year we had no hope. I am so glad to have found this site. He is afraid to go on any sites. I research everything, and it helps me to talk to other people going through this similar situation. I am still scared to death of the future, but we live one day at a time now. Blessed by Gods Grace.
