It seems like yesterday, Michael fought for just over 2 years and its been that long since his passing he was only 20. He made us proud the way he faced this disease, the way he saw life and death, how he spoke about his funeral, how he was more concerned about others than himself.
He was an extraordinary human being having achieved Distinctions at Sydney University in Science whilst doing Interferon for 12 months. He amazed us when he enrolled for year 2 just after his 2nd Craniotomy and whilst on Temador only 3 months before he passed.. My boy you are a Legend.

For all of you in the trenches i wish you to the fight the fight of your life, don't accept everything the Doctors say to you no matter how qualified they are be pro actve and seek other opinions. To Caregivers especially Parents of young ones affected by Melanoma, listen to your children's opinion and needs it is their fight ask them what they would like you to do. I made some mistakes and acknowledged that, we talked and we parted arm in arm best of friends.
I know that its the Doctors and researchers that will find a Cure one day but it would never be possible without the incredible people both past and present that form this Community at MPIP.
best wishes
James
