I’m sorry to hear what you are facing and send any good vibes I can. I lost my wife to a particularly nasty metastatic cancer (melanoma). There were a few complications that delayed her immunotherapy, which ultimately led to her death.

There is a targeted therapy that applies to many melanomas, but hers did not have the mutation that made it an option. Perhaps this treatment will be tweaked and developed to be less awful and offer that gift of time that my wife didn’t have.

Cancer and other diseases are insidious. While she didn’t make it, she had hope. And the reality is her hope was built on the shoulders of countless others who faced certain death and whose experiences led us to the 60/40 odds that melanoma patients have today.
