I was on Yervoy. It really helped me. I had colitis, but really Yervoy had the least side effects of any other therapy I have tried. Keep eating! It's worth it!0July 2014

I, too have had an inoperable tumor (stage IV melanoma) in my chest. They shrank it with radiation and it seemed to go dormant. Then a few years later I developed a melanoma brain tumor, underwent brain surgery, gamma knife radiation, and Yervoy. All my scans have been cancer free now for two years! In the past I also had a grapefruit sized tumor in my abdomen and a small spot of melanoma in my buttocks, both successfully removed surgically.
Hi Keith59, my name is Crystal. I am also a melanoma patient. I see where you have stated that you need to talk to someone, so I am here for you.I'm not on here constantly, but I will check more often now to see if you have posted anything so that I can respond to you. I hope this note finds you well tonight, my prayers to you for comfort and strength in this journey.0July 2014
