How is chemotherapy working for melanoma after organ transplants?
Community Member
24 days agoI was diagnosed in early January 2026 with Melanoma. I had an issue two years before in which the melanoma was diagnosed, and removed from my shoulder and the lymph nodes were biopsy and cleared. I now received Chemotherapy, immunotherapy was not an option due to me having both liver and kidney transplants over the years. The odds were low on Chemotherapy working, but I have had 3 treatments now and thing are looking positive. I know I have a long way to go but I’m not going to give up!
