Hi Sascotty, 

It sounds like the immunotherapy treatment has gone very well for your dad and the only area concern 6 months on is the lung. Stable bloods and scans seems reassuring too and it's normal for your dad to be worried about his appointment with the oncologist this autumn when the immunotherapy is finished. The appointment will however be a good opportunity to see where he's at, if there has been further progress, if everything is still stable and it will be a chance to discuss what his options will be, if he could potentially benefit from more immunotherapy or if they can explain to you why this can no longer be offered. 

I thought I would mention a couple of active members of our community who are currently going through or have recently had immunotherapy treatment for melanoma - have  a look for example at Kyla73 's I'm stage 3 metastatic melanoma thread and also Sally22 's Recently diagnosed with stage 3 melanoma thread and feel free to reply to their threads and I hope someone will drop by here and say hello. 

Our cancer helpline is also open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm - you can get in touch with them on 0808 800 4040 if you would like to talk things through with one of our friendly cancer nurses.

Best wishes,
