That is how my battle with cancer started. I had a cut on my forehead and it was skin cancer. it was cut out and less than a year later was found all throughout the right side of my face, so surgery was done and then two months of radiation. The radiation nearly killed me I.E. went from 220# down to 170# in 6 weeks. Then 1 1/2 years later it showed in the upper part of my left lung. My oncologist said that Sharp Healthcare just got an immunotherapy medicine from the Danny Thomas Children's Hospital and would I want to be the test case....I said yes and in 5 weeks the cancer had become a scar that I spent two years coughing up weird stuff that the meds had killed.

Still getting it and my doc says I should keep getting it as long as I live. I guess being old (80+) and having Medicare pay for it is good! I hope you have a good oncologist or will get one and get PET scans every 3 to 4 months to catch any cancer that has shown up somewhere new?
