Victoria is bursting with colour as I write and the temperature should reach 15 degrees today! I have been having a wonderful time starting the gardening season and spending lots of time running and cycling.
I have appointments with surgeons in Victoria on April 24 and Vancouver on May 5. Once I have had a good chance to discuss pros and cons, I will decide if that is what I want to do. I continue to research clinical trials and possible drug treatments every day. It is an exciting time as several drug companies are bringing immunotherapy drugs to market over the next few years. The trouble is, I may not have time on my side so it is with a sense of urgency that I try to get help.
I have had an exciting week with a couple of breakthroughs. A melanoma organization is going to Ottawa next week to advocate for compassionate access in Canada to a promising new drug and I am now on their list of people who are desperately waiting. I have also found a hospital in England that is doing exciting work with cancer vaccines and they are willing to discuss whether I might benefit and how I might access their help.
So, I continue to hope that I can stay and enjoy this beautiful world. Peace and love to all as always at this time of annual rebirth and growth.
