This is very hopeful for some cancer sufferers. This young woman was facing "harsh chemotherapy drugs, radiation therapy and invasive surgery." She was told she could not have any more children. After treatment she was able to have another child and now is expecting a third child.

Kelly Spill didn’t cry when she was diagnosed with stage III rectal cancer at age 28.

That should not have have happened to the poor young woman.

My wife was diagnosed with melanoma in her lungs nine years ago. She was in a drug trial for four years, but the cancer grew.

Five years ago she started immunotherapy using Opdivo (nivolumab) and her tumors shrunk. For five years she attended 30 minute transfusions every four weeks. Her cancer had shrunk drastically and it was suggested she stay in immunotherapy as long as it yielded results.

Last month she passed, not from the cancer but cardiac arrest following septic shock. After 9 years fighting cancer, her immune system was weakened. But immunotherapy works!
