Melanoma/ Immunotherapy

Quick update.

I didn't have a stroke yesterday, it was just bells palsy. Right side of my mouth doesn't want to work.This means steroids, excellent, but my next dose of the immunotherapy will be put back a couple of weeks. Joy.

Hell, you need to get your act together, stop giving us negative updates and start giving us positive ones.

In the meantime soz bud.
 
Nearly a year on...

Cancer news.

It spread last year so now it's on my lung, liver and in my chest area. Vague. I completed all 4 double dose immunotherapy sessions in less than record time due to the amount of side effects I kept on getting. They then told me that the cancer was reducing. Great news.

Now on a thing called maintenance immunotherapy which doesn't take 3 hours to do but 1 hour. In my house. With a lovely nurse. Every month. The cancer has now been knocked back somewhat more and is stable. This means I am now allowed to do exercise other than walking the dog. Cheers doc!

My extreme fatigue has been addressed, basically my cortisone levels collapsed last year meaning I've had pills/ tests to see what's what. This has helped to balance myself a wee bit.

Still off the booze, mostly, eating healthily, nearly, but feel a lot better. The missus and friends have noticed a distinct change in my demeanour. More energy. Upbeat. Etc etc.

Not been admitted to hospital since last August so I suppose I'm now living with terminal cancer. Feels a weird thing to say. Today I've done 2 dog walks, a 6 mile home bike ride plus housework and still feel OK. Not my old levels, got to manage expectations, but quite close.

Anyhoo, remember to check any moles you have. It could save your life.
