Hello, my name is Mike and I was first diagnosed with Stage IIc melanoma in February. After a couple surgeries, I started Keytruda treatment in March, but unfortunately it did not have any effect on prevention. PET scan last month showed that I have Stage IV metastatic melanoma lung nodule. I was referred to Mayo Clinic and will begin immune therapy, Ipi Nivo, on 10/8.

Not sure where to go from here, my thoughts are scattered on what I need to do. Life planning is not something I thought I would need to think about, but here I am. Looking forward to connecting with others on how they are coping with everything this disease brings.

@mlb66 I'm glad you've found this forum and posted. Sounds like you've been on a roller coaster with consultations, surgeries and new immune therapy. Feel free to say this all sucks because it does. We hold you close as you begin the therapy today.
