        Hi Inger!  It was incredible to hear of other twins in the same situation.  Not funny about the side effects, either, just a twin thing that happens to us as well, once in a while.

        I will be honest with you, I wonder at the injustice of this; why her and not me?  The helplessness is the worst part, if there is anything I could do to make her better I'd do it in a minute – which I'm SURE that is something everybody else's loved ones would say as well, but being a twin, you'd think there would be a better chance of reality in that.

        It appears that at the moment, immunotherapy is her best hope; but we're at the dreaded time of waiting to speak with this specialist and that for "interpretation" of some potential new growths.  It takes F O R E V E R it seems.

        So if you don't mind my asking, what is your history in this melanoma journey?  How has your sister helped you the most?

        Thank you for taking the time to respond!

              I am sorry to hear about your daughter.  If I understand, the mistletoe is best used in conjunction with your other treatment?  It's encouraging to know it is used in Europe, and I can investigate further.

                    Interestingly enough, my sister was already living an relatively healthy lifestyle, and when this "issue" arose got a metabolic profile and really made sure she was where she needed to be.  That, and her positive attitude, have brought her thus far already, to be in prime condition to fight this.

                    Thank you for linking that, it is encouraging to know that others choose to battle this in a more holistic manner!
