I was diagnosed with melanoma back in 2006 (I was 29 years old then) and have also been through many surgeries and treatments. It is one hell of a fight to go through but reading your updates truly helps keep me positive! I have been on the BRAF study since November 2010 and have had amazing results so far. But if it happens to stop working, I'm ready to go head on with other treatments!<br /><br />I really hope you and your family enjoyed your time in Orlando (I live 20 mins from the parks :-) and I look forward to seeing how you are doing in the future.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />Tara SmithAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585993712355736743.post-36115996021816146262011-07-05T11:09:00.255-07:002011-07-05T11:09:00.255-07:00William, Great blog. I was diagnosed with Melanom...William, Great blog. I was diagnosed with Melanoma in May 2010. I took Interferon for a few months then discovered melanoma on my rib recently. I had to stop treatment since it was obvious Interferon was not working. Since then I've had one dose of Yervoy, found tumors in my right thigh, right glute, left hip and a couple of lesions on my brain. I'm curious about the TIL study. Is that one where you have to be on IL-2 to use or is that a different treatment? It's been difficult, as you know, but I'm doing my best to kick this thing and get back to normal. Thanks for writing this blog!<br /><br />Jim OrrAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585993712355736743.post-50111418345049429092011-07-03T17:45:55.773-07:002011-07-03T17:45:55.773-07:00Mein lieber Sohn...

This WILL work and you keep getting stronger and have this positive outlook. We are right behind you.

Isn't technology amazing? TIL sounds pretty cool - and we are sure you have what it takes for it to work. Cancer look out!<br /><br />And did you see all the crashes today in Stage 1? I wouldn't want to be that spectator! Les Essarts tomorrow!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13958050872740097311noreply@blogger.com
