My Father is currently on a trial in Australia which combines Immune Therapy with traditional chemo treatment. The results can only be described as a miracle. He has gone from being inoperable stage IV melanoma (with the disease first being spotted in his lung, not his skin) to showing next to no evidence of the disease.

When I read many medical studies in the media, they often sound too good to be true. In this instance it is the real deal.

I hope access to this treatment becomes readily available for the rest of the public.

Not to be dismissive, but those other media stories often had someone incredibly improve their condition too and that someone would have had children to go around saying "this is the real deal" but it's still only an anecdote and it still only works on some patients. Even quack therapies have people recovering naturally sometimes. Not so say immunotherapy is quackery.
