Two years ago, I announced on this blog that I had been diagnosed with advanced melanoma. I decided right away that I was going to blog about my story and experience as honestly as I could. Throughout the ordeal, I have made more friends and encountered more expressions of selfless support than I thought was possible.

While a variety of different drug treatments have kept me going this long, it looks like the ride may be coming to an end. The latest reports from my doctors suggest that I have a very short amount of time left to live, and my doctors are basically out of ideas about what to try next.

As a last resport, I will be trying a drug called Ipilimumab tomorrow. It is a very promising drug for some people with advanced melanoma. The bummer though is that only about one in ten people repsond to the drug.

After that, it is only a matter of time.
