I am a Fighter

Diagnosed stage IIIB melanoma in April of 2015. WLE and SLNB of the groin a month later, followed by in-transit occurrence in Nov 2015. CLND in December 2015 found 8 positive nodes out of 30. Upped to stage IIIC. Began Interferon immunotherapy treatement in January, 2016. Additional in-transit occurred in March, and changed treatment to Ipi/Nivo immunotherapy combo. Made it through 2 infusions before side effects caused a pause in treatments. Latest PET scan shows shrinkage! Woohoo!
