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.

Updates

It's been a while since I have last posted. Its been a busy couple of months. I started a new job and been adjusting the family with a new schedule. The anxiety is still there mind you but I have been able to continue my life with the diagnosis. I have been fearful but I need to remember to trust.

I had my scheduled final treatment today. To my surprise, they cancelled the research arm of my study. So no 10 mg of ippi. I was not completely surprised due to the severe side effects. They told me that the toxicity they could no longer do the treatments. I was okay with this because they are still going to continue to monitor if there is any additional disease.

My scans came back clear!!! I was so excited. It is such a sigh of relief knowing my scans are clear. It is a scary prospect of scans the anxiety is riveting.
