About the author

In May 2016 I received a stunning diagnosis of metastatic melanoma from UCLA's Dr. Bartosz Chmielowski and my oncologist in Santa Barbara, Dr. Mark Abate. These two amazing doctors agreed that I was a good candidate for the new miracle immunotherapy drugs, which activate one's immune system to fight cancer.

At the time, cancer permeated my body. It was found in my lymph nodes and on virtually every organ in my body. Less than a year later, I have gained my weight back and am living almost normally with minimal side effects. My story is told in "Melanoma without a Cause,: How the New Miracle Immunotherapy Drugs and My Own Immune System Helped Me Fight Stage Four Cancer", a book now available on Amazon.com. By sharing my experience, I hope to bring understanding of the immunotherapy process to cancer patients and their families. Immunotherapy drugs are a huge breakthrough in cancer treatment, and many people are still alive because of them.
