        We care.   We really do.  I have had Stage IV melanoma since 2009, and frankly, I think I am dealing some major psychological issues from going through so much.  sometimes I don't respond like I should to others' needs.  Sad, but true.  Please stay on.

              Bio was very, very hard.  I would look at other therapies first.  Bio is so toxic.  I could only do it 3 times.  It didn't work, and I was in ICU hallucinating.  I hate to be a naysayer, it might be a magic bullet for you, it sure wasn't for me.'Good Luck.

                          Hi,  I was DX in June, 2009, and they gave me 3 months to live.  I set up my funeral and paid for it.  I am still here.  I don't know what did it but I was in the TIL trial in Maryland's NIH (it might have helped).    Nothing has actually worked.  I have grown tumors after Yervoy, Biochemo, interferon, and the TIL.  I have Stage IV tumors in me now.  I haven't had scans in a while.  I am doing the "wait and see" approach.  I hope it's not the  "wait and die" approach.  I am hoping something new comes out for Stage IV pts.  I am not eligible for any more clinical trials. 

                          good luck to you.  You are still here.  That is an inspiration.

                                I agree.  I went through 3 bouts of biochemo 2 years ago with Dr. Gailani at Kaiser Riverside.  I don't think it is worth it.  Of course, I had growth of tumors so I wouldn't.  It is very, very toxic.  Watch out for the kidney and bladder problems, permanent damage to these organs.  I wouldn't do it again.
