@colleenyoung the staff is great... everything runs like a well oiled machine. Dr Doonan is perfect for my approach to this medical issue. I want direct... but most important he listens intently and truly thinks about my question... before answering. I slept for 2 days after my 2nd infusion. Advill for 7 days... all good.. Opdualag. Thank you for asking.

@mark13903: I also have Stage IV metastatic melanoma and have been treating at the Phoenix location. I recently learned that due to adverse effects I can no longer continue with immunotherapy with had been helpful in resolving my lung nodule. I will post about that after my upcomine PET scan in a couple of weeks.

I'm glad to hear you've been pleased with Dr. Doonan and your care at Jacksonville. Everyone I've come in contact with has had only positive things to stay about the oncology staff at all the Mayo facilities. How do I know this? Because I've been participating in the the Melanoma Support group offered through Mayo since shortly after my diagnosis in November 2024. We meet via Zoom on the second Tuesday of each month. Here's the information: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/events/.

Is that perhaps something you might be interested in?
