Triumph Over Stage 4 Melanoma: Brock’s Inspiring Journey

Brock had his world turned upside down when he was diagnosed with Stage 4 Melanoma in July 2022. With his cancer growing by 300% within five months since the initial diagnosis, he was given roughly three months to live.

At the time of filming, Brock’s rapidly growing cancer was nearing complete remission — and within two months following filming there was no evidence of cancer left by scan or lab work.

Now, Brock is considered completely disease free and healthy by his medical team. Since completing the Immunocine treatment in December of 2022, he has remained on a healthy path and in true remission, and readily joins Immunocine at conferences to support its mission. We wish nothing but the best for Brock in the many years of life to come.
