The Yeti Project is a blog intended for the support of our own yeti, and my husband, Cleve. Cleve is currently battling stage IV melanoma. This is a place where you can check on his status or lend your support. I hope you find it helpful and inspiring as we embark on this long journey of healing

Today was the last radiation treatment for Cleve. It has been exhausting for him and he has some slight radiation burns to his skin, just redness and some grey encircling his wound. On May 23, we will begin the Ipilumimab infusion. It is a once weekly infusion for three to four weeks. As I said before, we are able to have the treatment done here in town which is really wonderful. I did forget to mention that May 4th marked the one year anniversary of the recurrence being diagnosed. One year survival for recurrent metastatic melanoma is pretty darn good. We look forward to seeing what kind of time we can get out of our next treatments.
