Hi! Welcome to my personal, self-pity, sob-story journal about my diagonisis of melanoma. Please excuse, any harsh or unapproved frustration. I am a cancer patient. Eventually, I will get my sanity back.

I am 25 years old. I am a wife, a mother of two, and a daughter. I HAVE MELANOMA. This blog is about my personal endurance race through this disease.

More Doctor Appointments

I went to another doctor's appointment last Friday. This oncologist keeps on pushing Interferon towards me even though I really do not want it. I decided to do a clinical trial that either test the treatment of Interferon or Yerzoy. I hope I will be receiving that latter.
I am also going to see another oncologist for a second opinion for treatment options. The clinical trial, I am opting for, is also being conducted by the differing hospital system and this time they are covered by insurance. (I hate the whole in-network and out of network thing. )

The doc also said Yerzoy cause fertility issues and I won't be allowed to have anymore babies until 3 years from now. I am okay with this but more or less frustrated that the choice of having more is no longer mine to make. I am happy with the two wonderful children I have more but everytime I see another baby. I get those problematic fever called baby fever! I guess I just need to trust in the Lord.

Tomorrow, I have appointments with a new dermotologist and my oncology surgeon. The day after that I have an appointment with the oncologist I have a second opinion with.

  I pray my stress level goes down. I am at my breaking point. This littlest thing makes me so angry. My poor husband has to deal with my constant irriability. God give me the wisdom to do your will.
