Hi everyone long story short my husband Jim battled stage 4 metastatic melanoma, 9 brain lesions in April 2017 and in September 2017 he went into brain remission, if there is a will there is a way I would love to share with you his journey on how he made the impossible , possible, do NOT let the doctors leave you with fear you take matters into your own hands, it is POSSIBLE, I would love to share with you the steps on how this was done if anyone is in New York i would love to give a speech or I can continue the conversation on here.. Jim would love to help others get thru this just like he did

Hello! I would love to hear what treatment he had. My husband is also stage 4 and is currently in immunotherapy (it’s working so far). Thanks! Jessica

Hi Jessica - absolutely - Jim had gamma knife radiation to the brain as well as immunotherapy (optivo and nuvibulab combo drugs together) the same time as the gamma knife targeted radiation. do you mind me asking how many tumors he has and his story? I can help guide you and tell you other things that helped jim to get in brain remission from 9 brain lesions to remission in 4 months!!!!!! if there is a will there is a way!!! im living proof seeing my husbands success!
