Patrice Aminati Says She Has Completed Her Latest Round of Radiotherapy

She continues non-curative treatment for stage‑4 melanoma under palliative care.

Overview

  • On Oct. 7, Aminati posted an Instagram story saying “Die letzte Bestrahlung geschafft … Ich bin so glücklich und erleichtert!!!” as she left the university hospital.
  • She followed with a detailed thank-you to the Uniklinik team, praising doctors and nurses for “jedes tröstende Wort” and even small kindnesses like a glass of water or a tissue.
  • Her malign melanoma remains stage 4 and incurable by medical standards; she has documented recurring metastases, including in the brain, with targeted radiations used as part of care.
  • Earlier this year, drug side effects worsened her liver values and forced a therapy pause, after which new metastases were found; systemic treatment has since been resumed.
  • She highlights support from husband Daniel and her parents, who have cared for her and their daughter, and she urges other patients to hold on as she continues to hope for a miracle.
