The greatest gift we have in this life is the freedom of choice. I’m with you. It amazes me, when people see negative in the good.

I’m using Imiquimod as an immunotherapy. Just finished 5 days on 2 days off for 6 weeks. Just healing now, I meet with my Doc (MD Anderson) next week. Have you heard of this? It seems to have worked. We have posted videos of the process here on KZfaq

@@MelanomaCanada thank you we will update with results as MD Anderson Cancer Clinic followup is next week. If it is successful it’s a great alternative for early stage on the face as the other option was to have my emotions lip surgically removed

I am so glad I have come across your video. I saw my oncologist just yesterday and he gave me two immunotherapy options. He basically just said they are both effective. Told me all the horrific side effects, and left. My options are Nivolumab IV treatment or the two oral pills Trametinib and Dabrafenib. I am so scared to do either. I really do not know which to do. I had my surgery for the melonoma in my lymph nodes three weeks ago. I appreciate your video beyond words.

I have Melanoma obviously; If I reject treatment or amputation will death be painful or simply just happen unexpectantly?

Hi Martin, thank you for your comment and watching our video. This is a very difficult question, end of life can look differently for everyone based on your journey and we could not comment on what that will look like for you. It is important that you are connected to the right team to support in pain management and the next stages of palliative care.
