I have not posted in quite sometime for a newly diagonosee. Its been since April, I have been apart of this disease. And two surgeries later and some gaining in patients, I think I feel a calm acceptance. Melanoma is always in the back of my mind. I have that constant paranoia of another re-occurrence some where else on my skin or in my body but I have the strength and faith that all is in God's will and Providence and what does not kill me only makes me stronger.
I had my first treatment of Yerzoy last Thursday. It was quite exciting to know this medicine may be the next promising drug for future melanoma patients in Stage IIIB. The hospital staff was very nice and friendly. I have had very little side effects practically none at all. Its kinda strange that I have this drug in my body but little residual effects. I keep on wondering is this stuff actually going to work. I guess I will know in the future.
My treatment schedule was mailed to me today. I have excitement on received this and I also am nervous. The transfusion of drugs does not bother me. Its those darn scans. I would have to admit anytime I see the word scan on a piece of paper with my name along with it. I get that scansxiety terror. I hope soon I will over come that debilitating disease soon.
