I had ldh drawn a week before my first immunotherapy treatment and it was 441 and then I had blood drawn 2 weeks after my first treatment and it was 611, is this normal im super concerned….. im only 23
I’ve had two immunotherapy treatments second one done yesterday and I feel all these subcutaneous nodules and just wonder when anybody else’s went away, I’m stage 4 and scared
who has had good results with immunotherapy?
fellow stage 4s what was you baseline LDH mine was 441 and lab reference upper end is 271, im stressing
saw on oncologist today, he said immunotherapy works remarkably well with melanoma but then stated he’s not trying to cure me… what does this mean?
did anybody else feel like things had gotten slightly bigger or swollen after first treatment?
I’m a 23 year old with metastatic melanoma I have 5 brain lesions biggest being 6mm and then I have lymph nodes in my chest possible breast lesions on my adrenal glands and lesions on my spleen periteneum and small bowel. I’m Braf v600e and am currently 16 weeks pregnant I also have just started opdivo/yervoy I am just looking for hope and really wanting to know if I can’t beat this or if I’m more likely to die.
