- I go over my personal immunotherapy treatment plan for dealing with stage 4 metastatic melanoma.
I also discuss the mindset behind creating cancer content, and what I hope to achieve for myself and other people looking to connect through stage 4 cancer vlogs - or any cancer vlogs.
If this video or the topics on my channel are interesting to you, please do like, subscribe, and share them. (This is a test run for how weird it is to promote your own cancer vlog. Turns out… weird)

I use Ivermectin at 1.5 mg every other day and Fenbendazole 222mg every day in addition to my chemotherapy treatment.
According to my blood work my CEA tumor markers were not going down with just Chemotherapy treatment, so after 3 weeks, I started on my own using the Ivermectin and Fenbendazole. My CEA dropped for 136 ng/ml to 4.3 ng/ml and I gained 15 pounds. Normal CEA counts range from 0.0 to 3.0 ng/ml.
I am doing 12 Chemotherapy Cycles and only have 3 more to go.
Take what you want from how I'm treating my stage 4 colon cancer. So far I'm winning and most don't survive 6 to 12 months after being diagnosed. I hope this helps some or someone that you love.😊
I’m praying for you! Please preach getting a skin check every year. I don’t think a lot of people realize how serious melanoma is.
That's a great idea; I'll definitely cover that in an upcoming video!
Spot on regarding advocating for yourself.
NBA’s missing out but they’ll come around
God’s blessing to you. He will continue to strengthen you.
ITA with grilling your oncology team and being proactive when you're dealing with cancer treatment. I have a great team and have been pleased with all my treatment and care for the past two years since my diagnosis of stage 4 met breast cancer. You have to stay on top of side effects, new aches/pains or symptoms all the time. My biggest complaint is the fatigue and I have to push thru it daily. I'm almost narcoleptic at times because of one of the oral chemo drugs I take. It's whipping my butt and I don't like it but at the same time it has slowed the mets way down. I'm grateful for that. They put me on B12 pills and otherwise all my labs are normal which is pretty good. I eat high protein and very healthy. I try to avoid sugar if possible because it feeds cancer. You probably know about all of that. If you have any problem with your new treatments, you can try the Ensure Apple flavor nutrition drink. I love it. Great flavor and high protein and it's soothing and easy to drink.
Stay strong, praying for you and your family, Mike.
Bleh to your cancer and the side effects, but it seems like you're doing the best you can as well! Thanks for the tips - we're definitely aligned with how to manage it via our teams and lifestyles. Cheers!
Stage IIIa melanoma survivor. 6 years out from diagnosis, one year of nivolumab (Opdivo) only. Mine was on my calf as well. Happy you are a great advocate for yourself. Hang in there! 🙏
Love to hear it! Pesky calves, amirite? Thank you for watching, I really appreciate it :)
I love you so much! Keep the content going.
What was your first treatment?
Opdivo (nivolumab) - which is a form of immunotherapy.
@@Linn_Laugh_Love I'm on Nivo and Ipi but had to pause because of colitis. I'm tapering off prednisone now.
I go to the same office but with a different doctor.
I had the exact same experience - also got hepatitis with the combo this time around. Fun! (🙄)
Small world - and unfortunate that we're in proximity for the reasons we are, but I'm glad we're both at a good place for treatment :)
I think you are doing a great thing keep up the good work
Keep it coming man. Love you dude.
You will come out of this dude. You got this.
🙏
Love you Brotha!
