@canadaigua, that must've been shocking news to hear that the cancer is stage 4 now and that you may be on treatment for life. Luckily today, many people live long and well with stage 4 cancers. What cancer regimen will you be starting? Will you also have Keytruda immunotherapy?

They have me on chemo carboplatin and paclitaxel. My doctor wanted bevacizumab but the insurance denied it so yes I am still on ketruda for now. Yes it was quite a shock, I understand melanoma is the worst cancer type but I was hoping for better news. I hope this regimen will work to keep it from getting worse and shrink what I have. Thank you for responding. I'm told my doctor is the best in the area, so I pray that this works.
