Hi Everyone,

Hi Everyone,

I don't normally post here but do try everytime my twin sister has her scans for all those melanoma warriors searching for other stories like I did so many times. My sister was diagnosed with stage 3b while 5 months pregnant. She opted to do the 1 month high dose interferon and then the 1 year low dose. Fast forward 3 and a half years she has a beautiful little boy and is fully enjoying life. She just got scan results and she continues to show no evidence of disease. This forum has been such a help when I was helping her after diagnosis and still continues to be while keeping updated on the current treatments that are available. God Bless you all!

Jessica

Former caregiver to twin sister with stage 3b melanoma
