I wanted to give everyone an update on how things are going. I had surgery the end of February for the melanoma. They removed the cancer and made sure that there were clean borders as well as removed some lymph nodes. I had my follow-up yesterday where they removed the stitches and gave us some fantastic news. The lymph-nodes they looked at showed no indication of cancer.
After some discussion with my oncologist, it was highly encouraged that I do some adjunct therapy. I will be doing immunotherapy treatments for the next year as there is a moderate to high risk for recurrence. The immunotherapy will cut that risk down to 15-20%. With that being said, I will be going to Pittsburgh 1-2x a month for 12 months. As before, I will be opening up some appointments a month at a time. Please keep an eye out for cancelations if I have an appointment that is moved or am not feeling well. On that note, if you are not feeling well before an appointment, please reschedule as my immune system may not be up for it.
I look forward to being back in my office doing what I love. Hope to see you soon.
On a side note, the "send a message" option is not working correctly on this page. I can see that a message is waiting but am not able to open it. If you need to reach me, please email, call or text me.
Take care,
