        Thanks, Ed. I had previously found the two articles you linked in your first post. The information is fairly fresh, but I was curious if anyone else had discussions regarding this potential therapy.

        I was unaware of the trials referred in your second post. I guess it shows that promising theories do not always produce the results that are sought.

        I will continue to search for more information and remain optimistic.

          I was diagnosed with Scalp Melanoma this past October (2020).

          I am a 69 year old North European with very light skin. Surgery removed a circular area of skin around 2″ diameter. A graft from my thigh was used to patch it.

          I have a dent in my head, since the surgeon took a very thin layer of skin for the patch. One lymph node tested positive, so it was removed at the same time.

          The surgery was not a big deal as far as discomfort/pain. Never took meds for pain after surgery.

          A PET scan indicated no ‘hot spots’ anywhere post-surgery.

          Currently undergoing Opdivo therapy monthly with absolutely no side effects.

          The only question for me is how much time I am buying with Opdivo.

          If I can answer any specifics, please let me know.
