Bio

First diagnosed with Melanoma in 2015. I had an ulcerated mole on my left outer thigh. This was removec and a SNB was performed. No nodal involvement. I was followed up and monitored regularly. In April 2017 a reoccurrence on my left thigh was diagnosed. Upon further investigation it was determined that one node in my groin was affected. Surgery removed the nodual on my left thigh and major groin dissection was performed (removed all nodes in my groin and abdomen). I was placed on Interferon as a treatment protocol. November 2017 I was diagnosed with Melanoma in my lungs and lymph nodes behind my lungs and another tumour on my left leg. (Stage 4). I am now being treated with Keytruda and scans every three months. The volume of cancer is low.
