Just a wee update.
Lung issues have resolved themselves in my recent scan.SO now almost 6 years past ipi/nivi NED..
I have to especially thank Bubbles, for her undaunted commitment to this forum, you are a true hero!!
Many dark nights spent looking for a glimmer of hope in the face of despair!! People keep posting positivity…..

Thank you Celeste for your response, very much appreciated.
I have researched Ground Glass Opacities in lungs, and it looks like not typical of metastatic lung melanoma, as usually it manifests as a solid tumour. As you say melanoma plays it’s own game of Witchery!
If it wasn’t for the CT scan, I would be totally oblivious to any underlying condition.
Thank you once again from not too sunny Scotland…

I did have Covid way back in January, but very mild symptoms.
I have been reading a lot of past posts on this forum and GGO seems to crop up, so not a completely unexpected phenomenon.As you say when your been scanned on a regular basis, things appear that would be undetected in the general public! I suppose if it turns out to be something, it will have been detected early enough, which is the purpose of the CT.
Many Thanks for your response, very much appreciated…

Thank you so much for your comment. In the early days I would scan the internet for a bit of hope and light in all the bleakness ….My personal opinion is , there is a lot of light, but generally peeps don’t share, not realising the huge difference a small comment of positivity can have on a community looking for hope.. The melanoma journey is not a sprint but a marathon, and difficult doesn’t mean impossible …

Celeste thank you so much for your response,. I have followed your blog since my diagnosis back in September 2017, as we all know positive stories are always welcome.
