Ok, so I'm at the beginning of this road. Stage IIIc diagnosis starting in my leg, but the excision surgery was successful and only 1 or 2 SLNs showed disease (.35mm tumor). The ensuing PET scan showed no additional disease
Last month my oncologist gave me the option doing immunotherapy, which will be Opdivo. I'm meeting with her Monday and plan to go ahead with it.
I was ecstatic with the oncologist saying, last month, that I was "essentially cured but with reservations", but have since sunk back into pessimism. I'm glad you were able to take some emotional value from the treatments for minimal cost (in the form of side effects), hopefully I can do the same
Stay well!
