stage 4 melanoma

I was diagnosed with it in ‘05. I met a beautiful girl that cared enough to get me in to see a dr. instead of just telling me to go. When he returned to the room with seringes and cutlery I knew something was up. My mole on my right thigh had matastisized [metastasized] and moved towards my grion and hip.

After surgery and Interferon for six months it returned to my hip. Again they cut it out. After one clean scan at 90 days I thought things were looking up. Midway till my next I couldn’t make myself eat figured it was the Interferon I was back on but it was a tumor in my large intestine. So that to was cut out. Again at my next 90 more tumors in my thigh, hip and stomach. So I went into a study group doing a biochemo. Luckly I was a lucky one though it almost killed me it has kept the malenoma [melanoma] away in my body but just last july it has returned as a brain tumor [sucks].

So here I sit waiting trying to spend quality time with my 9 and 10 yr old boys and every other person I come across. Lifes to short dont sweat the small sh**..Oh it is UCSF in frisco is the ones kickin my melamona’s a**

I developed what looked like a large freckle (1″x 1/2″) on my lower leg. I showed this to my Primary care Doc and was told not to worry about it. [more..]
