Best of 2018

2018 brought another year full of doctor's appointments after a third diagnosis of Melanoma. I went through another surgery and switched to a different immune-therapy drug (Opdivo). I will still be in treatments throughout 2019, but as of now I am not facing another surgery. I do hope things continue to go well with the treatment. I hope for health and happiness for my family as well. For all of you, I wish you a healthy and joyful year. May you enjoy happiness throughout 2019!
