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.

Update

Its been awhile since I have posted a new post... A little over 14 months.. need to say I am a little late. I have had scans over this period and ALL HAVE BEEN CLEAR. Praise the Lord!

Intially when I was diagnosed, I did not think I would see the end of 2014. Here I am alive and well almost three years later and living life to the fullest.

I changed my schedule from scan every three months to every 6 months. This is longest that I have gone without scans. Its a little scary because I am always expecting the reassurance that I am okay with clear scans. This first six month period is steadfast in prayer and appreciation in the time I have with my family especially with my children.

I still see my dermotologist every 3 month just for observation. She is having me participate in a study to count my moles and research my genome from my intial melanoma in 2012 in two weeks. I am all for more research.
