Great News!

Yesterday, May 9, 2018, we went for Brian’s surgical follow-up. We saw Dr. Lambright the thoracic surgeon. He was happy to tell us that he got all the cancer with clear margins! That means Brian does not have active melanoma in his lungs! We are not aware of any other areas of melanoma at this time!  Also, Brian’s lung function has recovered more than the Dr. expected! That will continue to improve over the next few months. It is like a reprieve for him right now. The hope is that the Nivolumab has changed his immune system enough that new melanoma won’t grow. We have to continue with periodic CT scans but Brian wants to wait until at least August for that. He has also requested a new oncologist and is set to meet Dr. Johnson in August. Right now the plan is to enjoy our freedom from the hospital for the summer! Please continue sending prayers his way.
