Side effects of autoimmune therapy

I was recently diagnosed with nodular melanoma and autoimmune therapy is recommended However after reading side effects I am leaning towards declining any treatment

  1. we understand the possibly side effects can be a bit concerning. One of our advocates shares how she tries to manage these symptoms https://skincancer.net/life-with-skin-cancer/immunotherapy-routine. I would encourage you to discuss the risks of forgoing treatment vs the potential side effects with your doctor. Nodular melanoma is very aggressive https://skincancer.net/life-with-skin-cancer/nodular-melanoma. Our community is here to support you💕. Please reach out anytime and let us know if we can help in any way. All my best, Julie (team member)
