Great news, @Wells37 .

You've been through such an innings.

I've been thinking of you and sending positive vibes & strength your way, and will continue to do so as you progress.

Absolutely amazing news!! I'm sorry it's been a rough ride but hopefully it will be easier from now on and it will all shrink away to nothing. I'm really genuinely delighted for you.

Thanks for coming back to update OP. What a tough time you've had, but sounds like things are really improving, which is fantastic news! Best wishes to you x

That's fantastic. Thanks for telling us.

Hi OP that is wonderful news. I wish you all the best wishes with your recovery.Sorry to hear you had been so poorly. Things are looking up for you. I send hugs via this internet machine.

Fabulous News ! May you go from strength to strength.

Great news! Hopefully the change in regime will mean the side effects won't be so nasty this time, but it'll continue to have the positive effects.

Thank you for sharing your news... it was lovely to read it today. Let's hope you revised schedule dissipates the side effects and you are able to keep reducing the steroids. Finally, thank you for letting us know when you must have a ton of other priorities which are competing for your attention.

I am so pleased for you, that is fantastic news x

What lovely news @Wells37 you and your family must be thrilled x

Such wonderful news OP.

Just looking back on this thread a year later, I can’t believe a year has passed.

I’ve had amazing results on scans, 1st lots of shrinkage, second it was to small to measure, last 2 completely clear.

I haven’t been able to continue with immunotherapy due to side effects. Which have been pretty brutal, but hopefully my bodies immune system now remembers what to do if it pops up again. My immune system is very very active now which is why I’m getting such bad side affects.
Once I’ve recovered from the latest side effect I should be able to continue with the vaccine.

Considering what they told me this time last year it’s pretty amazing!
Side effects do get me down but the big picture is pretty good 😊
With the latest advances they are talking about some of these treatments being curative for advanced melanoma for some people. My consultant has even discharged a few patients who had brain metastasis recently. They were the first patients to get the type of immunotherapy I had.
Hopefully this time next year the side effects will be a distant memory and we will be able to back a nice holiday somewhere😃

So glad to hear you are still doing well. Considering where you started, it's amazing to hear the stage you have gotten to now.
I truly hope it never ever returns and you live a long and healthy life ☺️ xx

This is such great news.
Onwards and upwards!

This is the best update - so pleased for you!!

That's happy, happy news op.
