Hi Patrick, I've been diagnosed with nodular melanoma and have immunotherapy treatment after having surgery to remove it. I had 1 year of treatment with novimulab. Did have a recurrence which was treated with Ipi + Novimulab which caused the lesion to disappear after 3 treatments. On Novimulab alone for ? 1 year. Immunotherapy is very successful treatment for melanoma.

Thank you Barb,
I have been on Keytruda now for 6 months and six more months to go. the side affects so far are minimal. I believe they may have given me chemo by accident one month, which gave me blood shot eyes and a metal smell. Otherwise am doing ok.

Hi Patrick, I got good news yesterday, Pet Scan shows no cancer seen!! I do believe this immunotherapy keeps the cancer at bay....... doc does want me to do 2 years of novimulab infusions. OPDIVO (nivolumab) is in the same drug class as Keytruda.
I wish you continued good luck with your infusions!
Barb

Thank you so much and I am glad to hear your positive results. I just had my fourth treatment of Keytruda with minimal side effects. 13 to go.

Has anyone tried immunotherapy and will you share your results
