I was diagnosed last year with Secondary Stage 4 Melanoma, my Melanoma from 2008 came back to visit me as brain tumours, I now have many however Immunotherapy is working away on them.
Side effects include Pneumonitis caused by the Immunotherapy, T2d caused by long term steroid use and a failed Adrenal gland which means I will be on steroids for the rest of my life.
I am new to T2d so need as much knowledge as possible in a very short space of time.
