Back in October 2015 I discovered a lump in my neck. Trust me, the only good lump is in your mashed potatoes! I was diagnosed with stage IV melanoma. It had spread throughout my body and my abdomen was full of tumors. Inoperable, and as melonoma doesn't respond to chemotherapy or radiation it was terminal.
They started me on the new immunotherapy drug Keytruda. Four days after the first infusion the tumor in my neck started evaporating. I just got the results from the latest PET scan (Monday). Everything is normal, no indication of cancer anywhere! No inflamed lymph nodes, nothing! It's been a long road, getting from there to here.
Looks like I'll be on the green side of the grass a while longer. If I can be of any comfort or provide encouragement please let me know.
Never give up, never surrender! Take no prisoners, give no quarter!
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Man, that is great news!!! Good to see someone punch cancer in the eye for a change!
