Yes I have had metastatic melanoma and they finally allowed immunotherapy after many issues of not being allowed. Just be careful of your eyes. If there is any change at all with your vision you MUST go to the eye hospital. Professor McCluskey in Sydney is the best for knowing about this. Just watch any bodily changes. You need to monitor yourself. Only you know when things are changing. I pray that all goes well. Try having Bowen Therapy to increase your immunity and be gentle with your body. All the best.

Morning JLM, you are doing truly amazingly. I know exactly what you mean, i am 4 months into 6 month treatment and i pushed myself for those 4 months with fitness, gym, running, walking, taking my dog for a walk and working full time pretty much with lots of meetings and walking around to appointments. Mainly because i was told fitness and exercise is critical during this time, wow it's hard sustaining that isnt it? But i caught a lung infection last week and ended up in hospital for 5 days, i now know pushing myself was a terrible thing to do, but it made me feel like i was not letting my life be any different than before. I've only just accepted life is different for a little while. Being a fitness person, i obsessed too much over keeping it going, i'm focussing on food and nutrients now. that will help you feel better. Walk your dog every 2nd day maybe, and shorter. I also make sure i take vitamin B, fruit and vegetables (i puree alot or make a soup) and of course water. I also tried red ginseng, but it doesnt taste good so i'm working on that one. I hope this helps and i also hope you find your energy, I found if i just did little bits here and there off the lounge i felt ALOT better. Even just walking to the mailbox, bedroom, wash my face anything to just move without exhausting myself. Good Luck! Mez ... View more
