Brilliant! I will add equity of access to treatment and supportive care. Support in the community (return to work etc). The American scenario of insurance is terrifying. We fight to continue our medicare and HTA process in Australia.

Is this an American group or intended to be world wide?

#Melanoma is Australia's cancer, embarrassing but true. Well done @mikecarlton01.bsky.social for keeping up your skin checks, early detection is key.

Please don't, if it can be cut out or off that would be the best option for animals and humans.

Hi I am a stage IV melanoma survivor. I managed to get on a clinical trial for keytruda in 2013. I have had a complete response.

You might like to look at some Facebook support groups, especially in Australia. So sorry to hear it has spread, such a rare occurrence.

I had worked so hard on my twitter account. I rarely saw ads but I didn't miss any news from the areas I am interested in (melanoma, cancer, gut microbiome, some HTA). I would like to reclaim linked in for my day job!

I wish you luck. I am stage 4 melanoma and I was a super responder to pembro. Few side effects but i know many who have had pituitary and adrenal glands effected.
