Showing no evidence of melanoma cancer after a one year course of Pembro immunotherapy

I'm at present showing no evidence of melanoma cancer after a one year course of Pembro immunotherapy which is great. 

Beginning to be affected by side-effects of that - including adrenal failure to produce cortisol.  So currently at stage of working out ideal steroid strength going forward and hoping to avoid steroid meds issues.  Wishing you all well.

    Hi Rob,

    That's really good news and long may you remain melanoma free. The side effects can be problem, it seems everyone is different. I hope your team find a treatment plan that addresses your adrenal failure. Good luck and keep well,
