FYI I am a 56 year old male. Started Chemo for Stage IV Melanoma in the lungs in November 2013. By March there was no progress. In May 2014 I started Yervoy treatments (ipi) and completed my treatments a couple of weeks ago.
Now I just wait. CT scans planned for August and December at which point I know if the ipi worked or not.
At this point I just wait; stay positive and continue to live life. Going to worry about my next steps when I get there
I still work 5 days a week, bike and hike on the weekends, and I played hockey last year when I had my chemo. Hockey starts in September and I have no plans to miss this season.
Next steps after ipi? New drugs are always on the horizon.
