That kind of BS is beyond infuriating. There are so many people, and especially in cancer groups, spewing utter nonsense to people desperate for anything to bring them hope. I have seen the most desperate people imaginable send what they have left in their bank account to snake oil salesmen selling false hope and a jar of "miracle" oil. Fuck everyone that preys on cancer patients to pad their pockets or their ego. Hopefully there is a special place in hell for the whole lot of them.

It's sad. Because he used to have good contributions and stoke. Brewing, boating, bread making, skiing, cats. Then maga happened. I have a buddy I don't see anymore who went through a similar de-evolution.

It's sad.

It's more pathetic than sad, IMO.

A year ago Sept 7 my Dad was diagnosed with metastatic Melanoma, 3 tumors in the brain and in both lungs, 6.5cm in the right lung, 13.5cm in the left one. He got sepsis and came very close to dying.

A year later after monthly antibody infusions, the tumors are completely gone from the CT scan.

Keep the hope alive.

Great to hear that, Mofro

[mcski]

That's awesome. There was a dermatologist on Huberman a while back who said that the immunotherapy treatments for melanoma have gotten so good that more people will die from squamous cell carcinoma this year than melanoma, and soon it will be something like a 3x difference.

Awesome. Thanks for bringing the stoke Mofro!

That's fantastic. Jimmy Carter was treated with immunotherapy for brain and liver mets in 2015. Looks like he'll turn 100 in a few days. Melanoma has always been a special case--it seems to be more susceptible to immunotherapy than other cancers. There have been cases where the tumors went away spontaneously--presumably due to the body's own immune response.

This seems fairly harmless, unless it keeps someone from getting effective treatment. The same cannot be said to some of the chemotherapy people with advanced cancer sometimes get with little or no hope of benefit. Ask questions, make sure you know what the chemo will or won't do for you. Or not, if you don't want to know.
