Hi,
My boyfriend is 31 and was initially diagnosed with stage 3b melanoma in October last year. He had surgery on his leg and then started Immunotherapy in February. Which he was going to have for a year.
Unfortunately, the immunotherapy didn’t work (the cancer grew in his leg) and gave him the worst possible side effect which was a swollen brain. He was really ill (slept 22 hour days for 6 weeks) he couldn’t walk and barely talked. This delayed the whole process as he couldn’t start a new treatment until he is better (he’s on the strongest steroids). He’s now been diagnosed with stage 4. He will have surgery on his leg mid June then they will need to find another treatment. The doctors are concerned they won’t be able to contain the cancer.
I’m incredibly sad, I just wondered if there was any hope? I don’t know what’s going to happen, I’m shocked that the cancer has grown so much in his leg as before he only had dots of it.
I just need to hear some positive news
